An Unbiassed Census of Active Galactic Nuclei in the Two Micron All Sky Survey

(Abridged) We present an unbiassed near-IR selected AGN sample, covering 12.56 square degrees down to K ~ 15.5, selected from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS). Our only selection effect is a moderate color cut (J-K>1.2) designed to reduce contamination from galactic stars. We observed both p...
