Unbiased census of AGN in 2MASS

DOI

We present an unbiased near-IR-selected AGN sample, covering 12.56deg^2^ down to Ks~15.5, selected from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS). Our only selection effect is a moderate color cut (J-Ks>1.2) designed to reduce contamination from Galactic stars. We observed both pointlike and extended sources.
