Abstract: | In the first part of this paper we obtain an X-ray luminosity function for Seyfert 1 nuclei using the optical luminosity function due to Veran (1979) and the 2 keV X-ray data primarily due to Kriss et al. (1980). This is compared with the 2–10 keV X-ray luminosity function due to Piccinotti et al. (1981) which was determined using a complete X-ray survey. In the second part of the paper we use this last function to predict X-ray source counts for Seyferts and compare these with the Einstein deep X-ray survey observations of a field in Pavo. |
