Previous Results

A. Coil et al. 2009 projected cross-correlation function (wp) in AEGIS of 132 X-ray AGNs with 4669 galaxies from DEEP2 survey.

Limitations

Deep2 is a unique catalogue of spectroscopic redshifts.

Small number of X-ray AGN in AEGIS/DEEP2.

Other studies are not possible, like the study of the Luminosity dependent evolution of the AGN clustering.

Probability Density Function (PDF) of Photometric Redshifts

Binned distribution with dz=0.04 from z=0 up to z=6

Our redshift bin is ±300 h -1Mpc = 5 bins in the PDF

Samples

110 X-ray detected AGN galaxies in AEGIS/CFHTLS

~21000 PDFs ~106 random galaxies
