Abstract

We use Virtual Observatory methods to investigate the association between radio and X-ray emission at high redshifts. Fifty-five of the 92 HDF(N) sources resolved by combining MERLIN+VLA data were detected by Chandra, of which 18 are hard enough and bright enough to be obscured AGN. The high-z population of μJy radio sources is dominated by starbursts an order of magnitude more active and more extended than any found at z < 1 and at least a quarter of these simultaneously host highly X-ray-luminous obscured AGN.
