Description
We present a study of the X-ray to optical properties of a sample of 545 X-ray selected Type 1 AGN, from the XMM-COSMOS survey, over a wide range of redshifts (0.04<z<4.25) and X-ray luminosities (40.6<=LogL[2-10]keV<=45.3). About 60% of them are spectroscopically identified Type 1 AGN, while the others have a reliable photometric redshift and are classified as Type 1 AGN on the basis of their multi-band Spectral Energy Distributions. We discuss the relationship between UV and X-ray luminosity, as parameterized by the alpha_ox_ spectral slope, and its dependence on redshift and luminosity.
