Abstract:
The X-ray and mid-IR emission from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are
strongly correlated. However, while various published
parameterizations of this correlation are consistent with the
low-redshift, local Seyfert galaxy population, extrapolations of these
relations to high luminosity differ by an order of magnitude at
νLν(6µm)∼1047erg/s. Using data from the Wide-field
Infrared Survey Explorer, we determine the mid-IR luminosities of the
most luminous quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and present a
revised formulation of the X-ray to mid-IR relation of AGNs which is
appropriate from the Seyfert regime to the powerful quasar regime.
