Scientific paper

We propose Spitzer IRS low resolution spectroscopy of infrared-bright AGN from the GOODS North field. Using the broad wavelength coverage afforded by GOODS, we will examine the continuum emission of obscured AGN whose emission is dominated by dust re-radiation. Hard X-rays are excellent at detecting both obscured and unobscured AGN, as dust does not appreciably absorb such high energy radiation except when Compton-thick. Both hard X-ray and infrared emission is required to investigate the evolution of the surrounding dust torus geometry during the peak AGN epoch. These sources have been selected to be moderate luminosity AGN at redshifts 0.48
