## TL;DR

This paper reviews lessons from panchromatic modeling of AGNs, highlighting the AGN's IR contribution, the AGN-SF relation, and a constant SFR to BHAR ratio, informing galaxy evolution understanding.

## Contribution

It provides new insights into AGN and star formation interplay, emphasizing the constant SFR to BHAR ratio and effects of modeling parameters.

## Key findings

- Significant AGN IR contribution affects SFR estimates.
- A constant ratio between SFR and BHAR was discovered.
- Sample selection influences observed AGN-SF correlations.

## Abstract

I will review the tips learned from panchromatic modeling of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), based on our recent work to study the relationship between AGN and star formation (SF). Several AGN SED models are compared, and signifficant AGN contribution is found in the IR luminosities and corresponding star formation rate (SFR). I will review the AGN-SF relation and how different parameters and sample selections affect the observed correlation. I will then report on the constant ratio discovered between the SFR and the black hole mass accretion rate (BHAR), and their implications on the gas supply and galaxy formation history of these systems. Caveats and important questions to answer are summarized at the end.
