(Highlight) The AGN content in eRASS/DR1 and eRASS/DR2

Speaker

Description

Abstract: Galaxy evolution can only be understood if its AGN phases are accounted for. For that, a complete and pure census of AGN is needed. Hunting for AGN in X-rays is the most obvious way to go, given the low emission from galaxies at this frequency. Over the last 20 years, XMM and Chandra have mostly provided pencil-beam surveys, thus sampling the faint and high-redshift regimes. Finally, with eROSITA, we can also sample the rare (local and z>5.5) and faint Universe. In my talk, I will then review the multi-wavelength properties (including redshifts) of the first eROSITA/DR2 AGN sample (data release planned for July 2026) and compare them with AGN selected from other surveys and from eRASS/DR1.
