Abstract
Observational studies of active galactic nuclei (AGN) are pursued in various ways eg. statistical studies of many 10,000’s, smaller samples with multi-frequency data, and extremely detailed investigations of single objects. The results are then discussed and interpreted within a framework of models and general theories. I will describe two such on-going studies on behalf of myself and my collaborators. One is a new case study of an AGN with a very high accretion rate. The other is a more general study based on a new X-ray/optical selected sample of nearly 800 AGN .
