Talk Title: The spatial clustering of X-ray selected AGN in the Chandra Msec Fields
Abstract: I will present the first measurements of the spatial correlation function of X-ray selected AGN in the 2Msec Chandra Deep Field North (CDFN) and 1Msec Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS). At a median redshift of z~0.8, and on scales of ~ 1-20 comoving Mpc, the AGN clustering amplitude is found to be a factor of ~2 higher in the CDFS than in the CDFN. No significant differences are found between the clustering properties of soft and hard X-ray selected AGN neither in the CDFS nor in the CDFN. Similarly, there are no significant differences in the clustering properties of type 1 and type 2 AGN neither in the CDFS nor in the CDFN. The AGN spatial correlation function will be compared with that measured for X-ray selected galaxies in the CDFN. Also, the AGN clustering observed in the CDFS and CDFN will be compared with that of other X-ray selected AGN in shallower surveys. Finally, the observed variance between the CDFN and CDFS AGN clustering amplitude will be discussed.
