Active Galactic Nuclei and their Large-scale Structure: an eROSITA mock catalogue

J. Comparat, A. Merloni, M. Salvato +15

In the context of the upcoming SRG/eROSITA survey, we present an N-body simulation-based mock catalogue for X-ray selected AGN samples. The model reproduces the observed hard X-ray…

The XXL Survey: XXXIII. Chandra Constraints on the AGN Contamination of z > 1 XXL Galaxy Clusters

C. H. A. Logan, B. J. Maughan, M. N. Bremer +11

Context. The XMM-XXL survey uses observations from XMM-Newton to detect clusters of galaxies over a wide range in mass and redshift. The moderate PSF of XMM-Newton means that point…

The XXL survey XV: Evidence for dry merger driven BCG growth in XXL-100-GC X-ray clusters

S. Lavoie, J. P. Willis, J. Democles +33

The growth of brightest cluster galaxies is closely related to the properties of their host cluster. We present evidence for dry mergers as the dominant source of BCG mass growth a…
