The Environments of Active Galactic Nuclei within the zCOSMOS Density Field

J. D. Silverman, K. Kovac, C. Knobel +58

The impact of environment on AGN activity up to z~1 is assessed by utilizing a mass-selected sample of galaxies from the 10k catalog of the zCOSMOS spectroscopic redshift survey. W…

The spatial clustering of X-ray selected AGN in the XMM-COSMOS field

R. Gilli, G. Zamorani, T. Miyaji +70

We study the spatial clustering of 538 X-ray selected AGN in the 2 deg^2 XMM-COSMOS field that are spectroscopically identified to I_{AB}<23 and span the redshift range z=0.2-3.0.…

Ongoing and co-evolving star formation in zCOSMOS galaxies hosting Active Galactic Nuclei

J. D. Silverman, F. Lamareille, C. Maier +60

We present a study of the host galaxies of AGN selected from the zCOSMOS survey to establish if accretion onto supermassive black holes and star formation are explicitly linked up…

The zCOSMOS redshift survey: the three-dimensional classification cube and bimodality in galaxy physical properties

M. Mignoli, G. Zamorani, M. Scodeggio +56

Aims. We investigate the relationships between three main optical galaxy observables (spectral properties, colours, and morphology), exploiting the data set provided by the COSMOS/…

The close environment of 24 micron galaxies at 0.6<z<1.0 in the COSMOS field

K. I. Caputi, K. Kovac, M. Bolzonella +62

We investigate the close environment of 203 Spitzer 24 micron-selected sources at 0.6<z<1.0 using zCOSMOS-bright redshifts and spectra of I<22.5 AB mag galaxies, over 1.5 sq. deg.…

High redshift quasars in the COSMOS survey: the space density of z>3 X-ray selected QSOs

M. Brusa, A. Comastri, R. Gilli +19

We present a new measurement of the space density of high redshift (3.0<z<4.5), X-ray selected QSOs obtained by exploiting the deep and uniform multiwavelength coverage of the COSM…

Kinemetry of SINS High-Redshift Star-Forming Galaxies: Distinguishing Rotating Disks from Major Mergers

K. L. Shapiro, R. Genzel, N. M. Forster Schreiber +23

We present a simple set of kinematic criteria that can distinguish between galaxies dominated by ordered rotational motion and those involved in major merger events. Our criteria a…
