Contribution
It emphasizes the synergy between X-ray and infrared data for identifying obscured AGNs and understanding their connection to star formation, with a focus on recent surveys and future prospects.
Findings
Improved identification of heavily obscured AGNs.
Insights into the relationship between star formation and AGN activity.
Discussion of future X-ray-infrared observational strategies.
Abstract
We briefly review the synergy between X-ray and infrared observations for Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) detected in cosmic X-ray surveys, primarily with XMM-Newton, Chandra, and NuSTAR. We focus on two complementary aspects of this X-ray-infrared synergy (1) the identification of the most heavily obscured AGNs and (2) the connection between star formation and AGN activity. We also briefly discuss future prospects for X-ray-infrared studies over the next decade.
