Scientific paper

We propose a shallow survey of 1 sq. degree in the ELAIS-N1 field. This is the first to be observed as part of the SWIRE Spitzer legacy program, for which the data are now in hand. Our goal is to use the broad, multiband data from SWIRE and other supporting observations to construct the radio-to-X-ray SEDs of X-ray selected AGN. The SEDs reflect the balance of power between the accretion processes, the optical depth and covering fraction of any obscuring gas and dust, and the star formation rate. The relatively bright flux limit of our survey makes for almost 100% completeness in the optical and infrared. The resulting large sample (~400) will therefore be an invaluable resource to test models of obscuration and unification, the starburst-AGN connection, and the role of radio power.
