Comparison of Observed and Predicted Models of Type 1 AGN

Full observations of emissions is critical to understanding Type 1 AGN behavior. The broad wavelength emission of Type 1 AGN requires data from multiple telescopes or instruments (Runoe, J. et al., 2012). Using a wide spectrum of wavelength observations (radio to X-ray), Shang et al. (2011) constructed composite strectral energy distributions for eighty-five individual Type 1 AGN. This investigation assessed how well observations from a relatively narrow wavelength band correlates with broad wavelength emission represented by Type 1 AGN composite SED. Results provided evidence of recommended caution for application offered by Shang et al. (2011).
