26 MMT Science Symposium26 Summary (by Ryan Hickox) Observations in a big wide field of nine whole square degrees Show us thousands upon thousands of new active galaxies We can pick them out with Chandra, but if we wish to look instead We can also use their colors in the Spitzer infrared As these AGNs get brighter in the UV and IR, Their X-rays also brighten, but more slow than linear And while the picture for the broad-line AGNs is somewhat sure a lot of IR objects may still be somewhat obscured It will be great to test a model and to see what it predicts! Thank you all for your attention, here at MMT 2006
