We investigate the luminous X-ray sources in the Lockman Hole (LH) and the extended Groth strip (EGS) detected at 24 нјm using the Multiband Imaging Photometer (MIPS) and also with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. We assemble optical/infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for 45 X-ray/24 нјm sources in the EGS and LH. Only about one-quarter of the hard X-ray/24 нјm sources show pure type 1 active galactic nucleus (AGN) SEDs. ... ADS Citation Query . ...
