COSMOS field radio-loud AGN population at z>1

The SED modeling returns several important quantities associated with the AGN and host properties. The resulting photometric redshifts range from z~0.7 to 3. The sample mostly includes compact radio sources but also 21 FR IIs sources; the radio power distribution of the sample covers ~10^31.5^-10^34.3^erg/s/Hz, thus straddling the local FR I/FR II break.

The inferred range of stellar mass of the hosts is ~10^10^-10^11.5^M_{sun}_. The SEDs are dominated by the contribution from an old stellar population with an age of ~1-3Gyr for most of the sources. However, UV and mid-IR (MIR) excesses are observed for half of the sample.

The dust luminosities inferred from the MIR excesses are in the range, L_dust_~10^43^-10^45.5^erg/s, which are associated with temperatures approximately of 350-1200K. Estimates of the UV component yield values of ~10^41.5^-10^45.5^erg/s at 2000{AA}. The UV emission is significantly correlated with both IR and radio luminosities; the former being the stronger link.

However, the origin of UV and dust emission, whether it is produced by the AGN of by star formation, is still unclear. Our results show that this RLAGN population at high redshifts displays a wide variety of properties. Low-power radio galaxies, which are associated with UV- and IR-faint hosts are generally similar to red massive galaxies of the local FR Is.

At the opposite side of the radio luminosity distribution, large MIR and UV excesses are observed in objects consistent with quasar-like AGN, as also proved by their high dust temperatures, which are more similar to local FR IIs.
