Description
Galaxy evolution can only be understood if its AGN phases are accounted for. For that, a complete and pure census of AGN is needed. Hunting for AGN in X-rays is the most obvious way to go, given the low emission from galaxies at this frequency. In the last 20 years, XMM and Chandra have mostly provided us with pencil-beam surveys, thus sampling the faint, high-redshift regime. Finally, with eROSITA, we can also sample the rare (local and z>5.5) and faint Universe. In my talk, I will review the multi-wavelength properties (including redshifts) of the first eROSITA/DR2 AGN sample and compare them with AGN selected from other surveys.
