摘要:

本文分析了Chandra深场北巡天(CDF-N)和南巡天(CDF-S)中不同通量限制子样本的X射线选定活动星系核(AGN)的角成簇。我们发现一个强大的依赖性的聚类强度的子样本通量限制,这一事实解释了不同的XMM和钱德拉调查的不同聚类结果。使用林伯方程,我们发现,反转的CDF-N和CDF-S的空间聚类长度与文献中发现的直接空间聚类措施是一致的,而在更高的通量限制的聚类长度增加相当大,例如,在$fx,limit ~ 10^{-15} erg/s/cm^{-2} we obtain r_0~ 17 +- 5 and 18+- 3 h^{-1} Mpc, for the CDF-N and CDF-S, respectively. We show that the observed flux-limit clustering trend hints towards an X-ray luminosity dependent clustering of X-ray selected, $ z \sim 1$,活动星系核。

英文摘要:

We have analysed the angular clustering of X-ray selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) in different flux-limited sub-samples of the Chandra Deep Field North (CDF-N) and South (CDF-S) surveys. We find a strong dependence of the clustering strength on the sub-sample flux-limit, a fact which explains most of the disparate clustering results of different XMM and Chandra surveys. Using Limber's equation, we find that the inverted CDF-N and CDF-S spatial clustering lengths are consistent with direct spatial clustering measures found in the literature, while at higher flux-limits the clustering length increases considerably; for example, at $fx,limit ~ 10^{-15} erg/s/cm^{-2} we obtain r_0~ 17 +- 5 and 18+- 3 h^{-1} Mpc, for the CDF-N and CDF-S, respectively. We show that the observed flux-limit clustering trend hints towards an X-ray luminosity dependent clustering of X-ray selected, $z\sim 1$, AGNs.
