Description

The wide-area LOFAR surveys combined with deep optical data offer an unprecedented opportunity to characterize and model the radio-luminous AGN population, which are thought to play an essential role in the evolution of the most massive galaxies. I will discuss the latest results on the selection of this AGN population and what we can learn statistically about host galaxies, environments and environmental impact from samples of hundreds of thousands of objects. I will also discuss the future progress in this area that can be expected from LoTSS DR3 and Euclid data.
