Multiwavelength Spectral Energy Distribution Analysis of X-Ray Selected Active Galactic Nuclei at z = 0.2–0.8 in the Stripe 82 Region

Abstract

Abstract We perform a systematic, multiwavelength spectral energy distribution (SED) analysis of X-ray detected active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at z = 0.2–0.8 with Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) counterparts in the Stripe 82 region, consisting of 60 type 1 and 137 type 2 AGNs covering a 2–10 keV luminosity range of 41.6 < log L x < 44.7 . The latest CIGALE code, where dusty polar components are included, is employed. To obtain reliable host and AGN parameters in type 1 AGNs, we utilize the image-decomposed optical SEDs of host galaxies by Li et al. based on the Subaru Hyper-Suprime Cam images. The mean ratio of black hole masses (M BH) and stellar masses (M stellar) of our X-ray detected type 1 AGN sample, log ( M BH / M stellar ) = − 2.7 ± 0.5 , is close to the local relation between BH and stellar masses as reported by Li et al. for SDSS quasars. This ratio is slightly lower than that found for more luminous ( log L bol > 45 ) type 1 AGNs at z ∼ 1.5. This can be explained by the AGN luminosity dependence of log ( M BH / M stellar ) , which little evolves with redshift. We confirm the trend that the UV-to-X-ray slope (α OX) or X-ray-to-bolometric correction factor (κ 2–10) increases with AGN luminosity or Eddington ratio. We find that type 1 and type 2 AGNs with the same luminosity ranges share similar host stellar mass distributions, whereas type 2s tend to show smaller AGN luminosities than type 1s. This supports the luminosity-dependent (or Eddington-ratio-dependent) unified scheme.
