Notes. While in the upper group of rows reliable photometry is required – a magnitude error below 0.36 – in Ks+IRAC bands, in the lower group of rows we also require reliable 24 μm photometry. A1 stands for AGN type-1, whereas A2 for type-2 (X-ray or spectroscopic classifications). AL refers to the sources having intrinsic luminosities of log (LXR [erg   s-1] ) < 43.5, while AH refers to those having log (LXR [erg   s-1] ) ≥ 43.5.

(a)

Number of AGN sources selected by the applied IR criterion.

(b)

AGN type fraction: 2 = A2/(A1 + A2) and H = AH/(AH + AL). Higher 2 or H values than those found for the whole sample (first row in each row group) imply a bias toward A2 or AH AGN, respectively. Numbers in parenthesis refer, respectively, to the statistical error and the photometric upper and lower error bars.

(c)

The first row in each group refers to the total number of sources of a given type with reliable Ks+IRAC (upper group) and Ks+IRAC+24  μm (bottom group) photometry.
