Surveys of Local AGN’s

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 121))

Abstract

We review the optical, X-ray and infrared surveys of local AGN’s, discussing the limitations and biases of each of them. We conclude that no single survey may lead to a complete sample but that all of them must be used simultaneously to build a meaningful luminosity function.
