6. Abstract

We propose to determine the abundance of faint quasars and AGNs in the Hubble Deep
Field using a multicolor technique and compare the results to expectations from
previous surveys and model predictions. We will also attempt to identify AGN's
embedded within host galaxies through multicolor analysis of point sources and
possible extended envelopes. We will do numerical simulations to determine the best
detection parameters for quasars/AGN, produce new catalogs that will be made
available to the community, and estimate the completeness of the catalogs.
