We present the 15 micron luminosity function of type 1 AGN (QSO + Seyfert 1). Our sample of 21 high-redshift sources is selected from the Preliminary Analysis catalogue in the S1 field of the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS). To study the cosmological evolution of the AGN1 luminosity function, our sample has been combined with a local sample of 41 sources observed by IRAS. We find that the luminosity function of AGN1 at 15 micron is fairly well represented by a double-power-law-function. There is evidence for significant cosmological evolution consistent with a pure luminosity evolution (PLE) model L(z) (1+z)^k, with k=3.0-3.3. The value of k depends on the existence or not of an evolution cut-off at redshift ~2, and on the adopted cosmology. From the luminosity function and its evolution we estimate a contribution of AGN1 to the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIRB) of nuI_nu ~ 6 x 10^{-11}W m^{-2} sr^{-1} at 15 micron. This corresponds to ~2-3% of the total observed CIRB at this wavelength. Under the usual assumptions of unified models for AGN, the expected contribution of the whole AGN population to the CIRB at 15 micron is 10-15%.

Context: The counts of galaxies and AGN in the mid infra-red (MIR) bands are important instruments for studying their cosmological evolution. However, the classic spectral line ratios techniques can become misleading when trying to properly separate
AGN from starbursts or even from apparently normal galaxies. Aims: We use X-ray band observations to discriminate AGN activity in previously classified MIR-selected starburst galaxies and to derive updated AGN1 and (Compton thin) AGN2 counts at 15 um. Methods: XMM observations of the ELAIS-S1 15um sample down to flux limits ~2x10^-15 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (2-10 keV band) were used. We classified as AGN all those MIR sources with a unabsorbed 2-10 keV X-ray luminosity higher that ~10^42 erg/s. Results: We find that at least about 13(+/-6) per cent of the previously classified starburst galaxies harbor an AGN. According to these figures, we provide an updated estimate of the counts of AGN1 and (Compton thin) AGN2 at 15 um. It turns out that at least 24% of the extragalactic sources brighter than 0.6 my at 15 um are AGN (~13% contribution to the extragalactic background produced at fluxes brighter than 0.6 mJy).
The first phase of the ATLAS (Australia Telescope Large Area Survey) project surveyed a total 7 square degrees down to 30 micro Jy rms at 1.4 GHz and is the largest sensitive radio survey ever attempted. We report on the scientific achievements of AT
LAS to date and plans to extend the project as a path finder for the proposed EMU (Evolutionary map of the Universe) project which has been designed to use ASKAP (Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder).
We present a multi-wavelength catalog (15 um, R, K-band, 1.4 GHz flux) plus spectroscopic identifications for 406 15 um sources detected in the ELAIS region S1, over the flux density range 0.5<S<150 mJy. 332 (~82%) sources are optically identified do
wn to R~23.0. Spectra or bona fide stellar identifications are obtained for 290 objects. The areal coverage, MIR and optical completeness of the sample are discussed in order to allow statistical and evolutionary analyses. Two main spectroscopic classes have been found to dominate the MIR extragalactic population: z<0.5 star-forming galaxies (from absorbed to extreme starbursts: nuL_nu~10^8-10^11 L_odot), which account for ~75% of the sources, and AGN (both type 1 and 2), which account for ~25% of the sources. About 20% of the extragalactic sources are dust-enshrouded starburst galaxies [e(a) spectra], and all the starburst galaxies appear more dust extincted in the optical than nearby normal galaxies. We also identified 91 stellar objects (~22% of the MIR sources). The counts for starburst galaxies and AGN down to 0.6 mJy have been derived. A general trend is found in the optical-MIR SED of the galaxies, where the MIR-luminous objects have larger MIR to optical luminosity ratios.
We present a detailed study of ionized outflows in a large sample of ~650 hard X-ray detected AGN. Using optical spectroscopy from the BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey (BASS) we are able to reveal the faint wings of the [OIII] emission lines associated w
ith outflows covering, for the first time, an unexplored range of low AGN bolometric luminosity at low redshift (z~0.05). We test if and how the incidence and velocity of ionized outflow is related to AGN physical parameters: black hole mass, gas column density, Eddington Ratio, [OIII], X-ray, and bolometric luminosities. We find a higher occurrence of ionized outflows in type 1.9 (55%) and type 1 AGN (46%) with respect to type 2 AGN (24%). While outflows in type 2 AGN are evenly balanced between blue and red velocity offsets with respect to the [OIII] narrow component, they are almost exclusively blueshifted in type 1 and type 1.9 AGN. We observe a significant dependence between the outflow occurrence and accretion rate, which becomes relevant at high Eddington ratios (> -1.7). We interpret such behaviour in the framework of covering factor-Eddington ratio dependence. We dont find strong trends of the outflow maximum velocity with AGN physical parameters, as an increase with bolometric luminosity can be only identified when including samples of AGN at high luminosity and high redshift taken from literature.
The ELAIS-S1 field will be an LSST Deep Drilling field, and it also has extensive multiwavelength coverage. To improve the utility of the existing data, we use The Tractor to perform forced-photometry measurements in this field. We compile data in 16
bands from the DeepDrill, VIDEO, DES, ESIS, and VOICE surveys. Using a priori information from the high-resolution fiducial images in VIDEO, we model the images in other bands and generate a forced-photometry catalog. This technique enables consistency throughout different surveys, deblends sources from low-resolution images, extends photometric measurements to a fainter magnitude regime, and improves photometric-redshift estimates. Our catalog contains over 0.8 million sources covering a 3.4 deg2 area in the VIDEO footprint and is available at 10.5281/zenodo.4540178.
