We present the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of a hard X-ray selected sample. The sample contains 136 sources with F(2-10 keV)>10^-14 erg/cm^2/s and 132 are AGNs. The sources are detected in a 1 square degree area of the XMM-Newton-Medium Deep Survey where optical data from the VVDS, CFHTLS surveys, and infrared data from the SWIRE survey are available. Based on a SED fitting technique we derive photometric redshifts with sigma(1+z)=0.11 and 6% of outliers and identify AGN signatures in 83% of the objects. This fraction is higher than derived when a spectroscopic classification is available. The remaining 17+9-6% of AGNs shows star-forming galaxy SEDs (SF class). The sources with AGN signatures are divided in two classes, AGN1 (33+6-1%) and AGN2 (50+6-11). The AGN1 and AGN2 classes include sources whose SEDs are fitted by type 1 and type 2 AGN templates, respectively. On average, AGN1s show soft X-ray spectra, consistent with being unabsorbed, while AGN2s and SFs show hard X-ray spectra, consistent with being absorbed. The analysis of the average SEDs as a function of X-ray luminosity shows a reddening of the IR SEDs, consistent with a decreasing contribution from the host galaxy at higher luminosities. The AGNs in the SF classes are likely obscured in the mid-infrared, as suggested by their low L(3-20micron)/Lcorr(0.5-10 keV) ratios. We confirm the previously found correlation for AGNs between the radio luminosity and the X-ray and the mid-infrared luminosities. The X-ray-radio correlation can be used to identify heavily absorbed AGNs. However, the estimated radio fluxes for the missing AGN population responsible for the bulk of the background at E>10 keV are too faint to be detected even in the deepest current radio surveys.

  1. Anisotropic quenching beyond $z=1$ and its implications for preprocessing around high-redshift galaxy clusters

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Anisotropic quenching is detected at the highest redshift yet and linked to preprocessing dominating over intrahalo effects by ~20% along the major axis in a delay-then-rapid quenching model informed by cluster accret...

  2. Project Hephaistos -- IV. James Webb Space Telescope Observations of Two Dyson Sphere Candidates

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5 of 10

    JWST/MIRI data attribute the mid-IR excess of Hephaistos candidates D and E to background galaxies at z≈0.9 (Hot-DOG-like) and z≈0.4 (dusty starburst), not to Dyson spheres or debris disks.

  3. pop-cosmos: Disentangling galaxy properties from observables using data-driven approaches

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Rest-frame optical galaxy SEDs from a 16-parameter SPS model are captured by five disentangled VAE latents (mass, young stars, dust, soft/hard ionization); metallicity and age are not independent drivers.

  4. No hidden monsters: Probing recently-quenched galaxies for obscured AGN with JWST-PRIMER MIRI and NIRCam

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.5 of 10

    Massive post-starburst galaxies at 1<z<2 show no mid-IR excess, limiting any dust-obscured AGN to Eddington ratios below 1%, while low-mass PSBs retain residual star formation.

  5. pop-cosmos: Galaxy size evolution across structural and star-formation classifications in COSMOS-Web

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Galaxy size-mass relations exhibit double power-law breaks at different pivot masses for quiescent versus bulge-dominated samples, coinciding with AGN activity scales.

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Nearly every microjansky radio source in the NEP field has a bright JWST 4.4 μm host galaxy, and most hosts are star-forming, with a large minority showing active-galactic-nucleus signatures.

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Far-IR stacking of ~4000 LAEs at z=2-6 yields detections in massive AGN hosts with low f_esc(Lyα) (1-7%) and higher values (>10%) in undetected stacks, plus elevated IRX relative to typical star-forming galaxies.

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Non-detection of TDE in IC230724A; LSST could constrain TDE fraction of neutrino background to ≲60% or ≳30% with 10 events.
