Scatter plot showing the difference in the r-band magnitude of AGN host galaxies before and after the removal of the AGN contribution. The points in the soft and hard bands are color-coded based on their X-ray luminosity. The size of the points is relative to the physical size of the host galaxies. The plot shows the impact of AGN in the observed magnitudes of galaxies. However, we do not see any correlation between the δ rMag and rMag or Lx of the AGN hosts.
