We use approximately 1800 X-ray active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the eROSITA Final Equatorial-Depth Survey (eFEDS) that span over two orders of magnitude in X-ray luminosity, LX, 2−10 keV ≈ 1043−45 erg s−1, and compare their star-formation rate (SFR) to that of non-AGN star-forming systems, at 0.5 1044.2 erg s−1, the SFR of AGN appears enhanced by ∼30% compared to that of star-forming sources, for systems with stellar mass in the range of 10.5 11.5, present a flat SFRnorm–LX relation up to LX, 2−10 keV ∼ 1044.5 erg s−1, with SFR similar to that of star-forming galaxies. However, at higher LX (LX, 2−10 keV ∼ 1045 erg s−1), we find indications that the SFR of these massive AGN hosts may be enhanced compared to that of non-AGN systems.
