The Chandra Multi-Wavelength Project: Optical Spectroscopy and the
  Broadband Spectral Energy Distributions of X-ray Selected AGN
  From optical spectroscopy of X-ray sources observed as part of ChaMP, we
present redshifts and classifications for a total of 1569 Chandra sources from
our targeted spectroscopic follow up using the FLWO, SAAO, WIYN, CTIO, KPNO,
Magellan, MMT and Gemini telescopes, and from archival SDSS spectroscopy. We
classify the optical counterparts as 50% BLAGN, 16% NELG, 14% ALG, and 20%
stars. We detect QSOs out to z~5.5 and galaxies out to z~3. We have compiled
extensive photometry from X-ray to radio bands. Together with our spectroscopic
information, this enables us to derive detailed SEDs for our extragalactic
sources. We fit a variety of templates to determine bolometric luminosities,
and to constrain AGN and starburst components where both are present. While
~58% of X-ray Seyferts require a starburst event to fit observed photometry
only 26% of the X-ray QSO population appear to have some kind of star formation
contribution. This is significantly lower than for the Seyferts, especially if
we take into account torus contamination at z>1 where the majority of our X-ray
QSOs lie. In addition, we observe a rapid drop of the percentage of starburst
contribution as X-ray luminosity increases. This is consistent with the
quenching of star formation by powerful QSOs, as predicted by the merger model,
or with a time lag between the peak of star formation and QSO activity. We have
tested the hypothesis that there should be a strong connection between X-ray
obscuration and star-formation but we do not find any association between X-ray
column density and star formation rate both in the general population or the
star-forming X-ray Seyferts. Our large compilation also allows us to report
here the identification of 81 XBONG, 78 z>3 X-ray sources and 8 Type-2 QSO
candidates. Also we have identified the highest redshift (z=5.4135) X-ray
selected QSO with optical spectroscopy.
