Description

DATA AVAILABILITY : DATA AVAILABILITY The data used in this paper come from Sweijen et al. (2022) and the LoTSS Deep Fields Data Release 1, for which the radio data are presented in Tasse et al. (2021) and made publicly available through both the Centre de Données astronomiques de Strasbourg (CDS) and through the LOFAR Surveys website (https://lofar-surveys.org/deepfields.html). Multiwavelength photometric catalogues and photometric redshifts come from Kondapally et al. (2021) and Duncan et al. (2021), respectively, both of which are also available through CDS and the LOFAR Surveys website. The radio data from Sweijen et al. (2022) are also available on the LOFAR Surveys website (https://lofar-surveys.org/hdfields.html) and we make additional use of the deconvolved sizes which are available upon request. These data were supplemented with SED fitting results presented in Best et al. (in preparation), which are available on request and will be published with the Best et al. paper, through https://lofar-surveys.org/deepfields.html. Supporting information was taken from tables published in Middelberg et al. (2013) and Woo & Urry (2002), and are available in csv format at https://github.com/lmorabit/AGNdetect, where the publicly available code for the analysis presented here can also be found.
