Abstract

AGN activity is often revealed by strong X-ray and radio emission, even when the AGN is obscured at other wavelengths. Some AGN have been observed to be radio bright but X-ray faint, others X-ray bright but radio faint, as well as bright or faint/unobserved in both X-ray and radio. What determines whether the AGN will be X-ray or radio bright? Is it due to one mechanism that determines both, or two mechanisms in isolation, or even some mixture of the two?
