Current surveys:
- GATOS (Galaxy Activity, Torus and Outflow Survey): An optical/infrared/(sub)millimeter survey of a complete X-ray selected sample of nearby Seyfert galaxies. More information here: http://gatos.strw.leidenuniv.nl/
- SHARDS: A medium-band optical survey of galaxies and AGN at intermediate redshifts using OSIRIS on the GTC http://guaix.fis.ucm.es/~pgperez/SHARDS/
Past surveys:
- ARCHES: A European FP7 project to provide a multi-wavelength view of X-ray sources from the 3XMM catalog http://www.arches-fp7.eu
- Los Piratas: A mid-infrared survey of AGNs using CanariCam on the GTC. Observations include 100 hours of guaranteed time (Coordinator C. Packham) and 180 hours of an ESO/GTC large program (PI A. Alonso Herrero). https://sites.google.com/site/piratasrelatedpublications/ The paper with the published spectroscopic catalog -the largest AGN mid-IR spectroscopic survey conducted on a 10m telescope- of the ESO/GTC large program can be found here Alonso-Herrero et al. 2016, MNRAS, 455, 563.
