X-ray Sources in the SSA22 Chandra Field
arXiv:2210.10796 · doi:10.3847/1538-4357/ac9bfe
Abstract
The Hawaii Survey Field SSA22 is the fourth deepest Chandra X-ray field. To allow for the fullest exploration of this field, we present new optical spectroscopy from Keck/DEIMOS and Keck/LRIS, which, in combination with the literature, brings the spectroscopic completeness of the 2--8 keV sample to 62%. We also make optical spectral classifications and estimate photometric redshifts for the sources without spectroscopic redshifts. We then determine hard X-ray luminosity functions (XLFs) for the full sample of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs), as well as for the broad-line AGNs (BLAGNs) and the non-BLAGNs separately. Our XLF for the full sample is in good agreement with the literature, showing relatively strong evolution over the redshift range . The XLFs for the BLAGNs and the non-BLAGNs imply distinct evolution with redshift, with BLAGNs becoming increasingly dominant at higher redshifts and X-ray luminosities.
