Evolution of Optically Faint Agn from Combo - 17 and Gems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have mapped the AGN luminosity function and its evolution between z = 1 and z = 5 down to apparent magnitudes of R < 24. Within the GEMS project we have analysed HST-ACS images of many AGN in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South, enabling us to assess the evolution of AGN host galaxy properties with cosmic time.

WHY OPTICALLY–FAINT AGN ARE OPTICALLY–FAINT: THE Spitzer PERSPECTIVE
Optically–faint X-ray sources (those with fX/fR> 10) constitute about 20% of X-ray sources in deep surveys, and are potentially highly obscured and/or at high redshift. Their faint optical fluxes are generally beyond the reach of spectroscopy. For a sample of 20 optically–faint sources in CDFS, we compile 0.4–24 μm photometry, relying heavily on Spitzer. We estimate photometric redshifts for 17...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Agn Host Galaxies: from Blue to Red and the Influence of Large-scale Structures
We present an analysis of 109 moderate-luminosity (41.9 ≤ log L0.5−8.0 keV ≤ 43.7) AGN in the Extended Chandra Deep Field-South survey, which is drawn from 5,549 galaxies from the COMBO-17 and GEMS surveys having 0.4 ≤ z ≤ 1.1. These obscured or optically-weak AGN facilitate the study of their host galaxies since the AGN provide an insubstantial amount of contamination to the galaxy light. We f...
متن کاملThe X-ray-to-optical Properties of Optically-selected Active Galaxies over Wide Luminosity and Redshift Ranges
We present partial-correlation analyses that examine the strengths of the relationships between l2500 Å, l2 keV, αOX, and redshift for optically-selected AGNs. We extend the work of Strateva et al. (2005), that analyzed optically-selected AGNs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), by including 52 moderate-luminosity, optically-selected AGNs from the COMBO-17 survey with corresponding deep (...

We provide constraints on optically faint (I ≥ 24) X-ray sources, z > 6 AGN, Very Red Objects (VROs; I − K ≥ 4), and optically faint radio sources using the 1 Ms Chandra Deep Field North survey. We argue that the majority of the optically faint X-ray sources are obscured AGN at z = 1–3. These sources comprise up to 50% of the X-ray detected AGN. Approximately 30% of the optically faint X-ray so...
متن کاملFaint optically selected AGN at z = 3 Thesis by Matthew Philip Hunt
We present the results of two surveys for z ≈ 3 AGN, the Lyman break galaxy (LBG) survey and a new survey based on the same techniques, but over a wider area. These surveys, spanning more than 2 deg, yield 24 new QSOs, and 17 new narrow-lined AGN. The combined data from these surveys span a range of luminosity that is unprecedented at high redshift, covering 6.5 mag of the faint end of the QSO ...
