Black hole growth and stellar assembly at high-z

(Abridged) We selected high-z massive galaxies at 5.8 microns, in the SWIRE ELAIS-S1 field (1 sq. deg.). Galaxies with the 1.6 microns stellar peak redshifted into the IRAC bands (…
Obscuration in extremely luminous quasars

The spectral energy distributions and infrared (IR) spectra of a sample of obscured AGNs selected in the mid-IR are modeled with recent clumpy torus models to investigate the natur…
The XMM large scale structure survey: optical vs. X-ray classifications of active galactic nuclei and the unified scheme
O. Garcet, P. Gandhi, E. Gosset +25
Our goal is to characterize AGN populations by comparing their X-ray and optical classifications. We present a sample of 99 spectroscopically identified X-ray point sources in the…
Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies at 1.5<z<3 occupy dark matter haloes of mass ~6x10^13 solar masses
D. Farrah, C. J. Lonsdale, C. Borys +9
We present measurements of the spatial clustering of ultraluminous infrared galaxies in two redshift intervals, 1.5<z<2.0 and 2<z<3. Both samples cluster strongly, with r_0=14.40+/…
The SWIRE-VVDS-CFHTLS surveys: stellar mass assembly over the last 10 Gyears. Evidence for a major build up of the red sequence between z=2 and z=1
S. Arnouts, C. J. Walcher, O. Le Fevre +43
(abridged abstract) We present an analysis of the stellar mass growth over the last 10 Gyrs using a large 3.6 selected sample. We split our sample into active (blue) and quiesce…

A. Bongiorno, G. Zamorani, I. Gavignaud +51
In a previous paper (Gavignaud et al. 2006), we presented the type-1 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) sample obtained from the first epoch data of the VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey (VVDS). The…
Obscured and unobscured AGN populations in a hard-X-ray selected sample of the XMDS survey
M. Tajer, M. Polletta, L. Chiappetti +16
Our goal is to probe the populations of obscured and unobscured AGN investigating their optical-IR and X-ray properties as a function of X-ray flux, luminosity and redshift within…
Spectral Energy Distributions of Hard X-ray selected AGNs in the XMDS Survey
