Abstract

We present results from the study of optical broadband and X-ray properties of a large sample of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the Groth–Westphal Strip (GWS) field. In order to determine the morphology of all objects, we obtained different structural parameters. Combining these parameters with other optical/X-ray properties, we were searching for possible correlations between them, which could point out some of the AGN characteristics (see the contribution OTELO Survey: X-ray Emitters in the Groth Field – II. Properties of the AGN Population by Sánchez-Portal et al., in this volume).
