Abstract

We use data of the CDFN 2Ms survey and related multi-wavelength observations to investigate the nature of the intrinsic SEDs of AGN, how they vary with redshift and luminosity, and how the data are affected by obscuration and possible contributions from starbursts. We believe that shifting observational data to the emitted frame provides a direct way to visualize effects of obscuration and changes in the underlying SED from object to object.
