Description


We present the star formation rates (SFRs) of a sample of 109 galaxies with X-ray-selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with moderate to high X-ray luminosities (L_2-8keV_=10^42^-10^45^erg/s), at redshifts 1<z<4.7, that were selected to be faint or undetected in the Herschel bands. We combine our deep Atacama large (sub-)millimetre array (ALMA) continuum observations with deblended 8-500um photometry from Spitzer and Herschel, and use infrared (IR) spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting and AGN - star formation decomposition methods. The addition of the ALMA photometry results in an order of magnitude more X-ray AGN in our sample with a measured SFR (now 37%). The remaining 63 % of the sources have SFR upper limits that are typically a factor of 2-10 times lower than the pre-ALMA constraints. With the improved constraints on the IR SEDs, we can now identify a mid-IR (MIR) AGN component in 50% of our sample, compared to only ~1% previously. We further explore the F_870um_/F_24um_ -redshift plane as a tool for the identification of MIR-emitting AGN, for three different samples representing AGN-dominated, star formation-dominated, and composite sources. We demonstrate that the F_870um_/F_24um_ -redshift plane can successfully split between AGN and star formation-dominated sources, and can be used as an AGN identification method.
