Description

Over the past few decades, multi-wavelength surveys have revolutionized our understanding of active galactic nuclei (AGN) demography, structure, physics, host galaxies and host/AGN co-evolution. Wide-field and deep X-rays and mid-infrared constraints have been particularly essential in this regard as a means to peer through the substantial dust obscuration that surrounds most strongly accreting supermassive black holes, while radio emission has provided a pivotal window for probing relativistic jets. With this review, I aim to highlight some of the key discoveries and advancements that have led us to our current understanding and outlook for the future.
