The History of Active Galaxies A.Barger, P. Capak, L. Cowie, RFM, A. Steffen, and Y. Yang Active Galaxies (AKA quasars, Seyfert galaxies etc) are radiating massive black holes with L~ L sun The change in the luminosity and number AGN with time are fundamental to understanding the origin and nature of black holes and the creation and evolution of galaxies ~20% of all energy radiated over the life of the universe comes from AGN- a strong influence on the formation of all structure. Chandra and XMM data have revolutionized our understanding of the number, luminosity and evolution of active galaxies from 0<z<4 X-ray Color Image (1deg) of the Chandra Large Area Sky Survey

Only high quality x-ray spectral and timing data can determine the nature of these “new” objects set the basis for theories of the origin and evolution of massive black holes in the universe CON-X Conclusion Chandra results on AGN have shown that –The number of AGN –The evolution of AGN –The nature of the hosts of AGN –The total energy radiated by AGN –The correlation function of AGN Were all incorrectly estimated by optical and radio surveys. Since all theories on the origin, evolution and nature of AGN were based on optical surveys a massive re-think is necessary

Optical Quasar Evolution Historically AGN were found in the optical band by a variety of techniques –Presence of strong very broad (1-10,000km/sec) optical and UV emission lines –The presence of a bright, semi- stellar nucleus –Variability of the nucleus –“Unusual” colors of the nucleus Large numbers were found out to z~6 Since the late 1960’s (Schmidt) “well known” that quasars were much more numerous and luminous in the past. Thus quasars were thought to be created in the early universe. Many theories were developed to explain this. Energy density of quasar light (optical survey) # of quasars per unit volume/mag (optical survey) Boyle et al 2002 luminosity redshift Peak at z~2.5

Chandra AGN samples large samples of AGN have been obtained by Chandra (~1400 with optical data so far, 525 in our field, over the redshift range to ~0.1-5) Faintness of Chandra sources makes optical redshifts difficult Objects with redshifts Spectra -no redshift Steffen et al 2004 Number of AGN X-ray flux optical flux

Chandra Changes Everything Deep Chandra observations show that number of x-ray selected AGN exceeds optically selected ones by ~7:1 X-ray selected objects have very different properties than “optically” selected AGN While most luminous AGN have broad lines, most lower luminosity AGN do not have obvious optical AGN signatures Most AGN are “invisible” to optical searches Objects with broad optical lines (“optical AGN”) X-ray selected objects AGN without strong lines Steffen et al 2003 NO redshift L(x)x10 40 ergs/sec Z=0.1-1

“Backwards” Evolution of Chandra AGN In Chandra samples the low luminosity objects decrease in number at higher redshift The medium luminosity objects increase from z~0 to z~1 and then decrease at higher redshift The high luminosity objects behave like optically selected AGN and increase out to z~2 Cowie et al 2003 Ueda et al 2003 The Chandra sources represent almost all of the AGN in the universe are often very optically faint and are hard to obtain optical redshifts for Energy density of quasarx-ray light Z=2-4 Z=0.1-1

The Evolution of the 2-8 keV Luminosity Function for z<1 Barger et al 2004 Red= broad line objects only Black= all objects At z<1 the evolution of the total AGN population is consistent with pure luminosity evolution L(x)~(1+z) 4 At z>1 the evolution radically changes

Even including upper limits there is less energy emitting per unit volume at z>1 Objects producing most of the AGN energy AGN are “creatures” of the moderate age universe ~5 Gyr ago The Chandra AGN Luminosity density drops at z>1 Barger et al 2004 Similar results from Ueda et al 2003, Fiore et al 2003 Marconi et al 2004 Hasinger et al 2003 Ueda et al 2003 Z peak ~0.8

Marconi et al 2004 Comparison of Energy Densities and Evolution Optical samples miss most of the energy radiated by BHs at z< 2 Most of the AGN luminosity is due to M~10 7+/-1 M objects The x-ray data show that lower mass black holes evolve later and grow more than more massive objects. Energy densities from AGN from Optical (---) x-ray ( ) surveys 5x When BHs get their mass Accretion rate per unit time Each line is the growth of a Massive BH vs z

Optical Image of CLASS Field (Steffen et al 2004) The Chandra and deep optical data show that a large fraction of massive galaxies (giant ellipticals) at moderate redshift host Chandra moderate luminosity AGN. Chandra sources have the color and luminosity of massive galaxies

What sort of galaxies do the Chandra sources reside in? ~15% of luminous galaxies host Chandra AGN Chandra sources 80% of Chandra sources lie in luminous galaxies This is radically different from the “old” ideas of the location of AGN Barger et al 2003 Chandra data show that x-ray samples can trace large scale structure to high z- x-ray selected AGN are tracers of high overdensities

Large Scale Structure with X-ray Sources Optical surveys (Boyle et al) have found that AGN are distributed just like “normal” galaxies Chandra surveys find that “hard x-ray” selected AGN are much more highly clustered Normalized variance angle --- hard sources ---- soft sources Density of Chandra sources -notice large concentration to west, void to north Yang et al 2003, also see poster by Yang et al

Whats changed? Chandra results on AGN have shown that –The number of AGN –The evolution of AGN –The nature of the hosts of AGN –The total energy radiated by AGN –The correlation function of AGN Were all incorrectly estimated by optical and radio surveys. Since all theories on the origin, evolution and nature of AGN were based on optical surveys a massive re-think is necessary Only high quality x-ray spectral and timing data can determine the nature of these objects and set the basis for theories of the origin and evolution of massive black holes in the universe CON-X

Why Con-X ? Chandra, XMM and HST data have shown that many of the AGN in the universe are “invisible” to optical techniques at z>0.2 even for “type I” sources the nuclear magnitudes are fainter than 27 for a large fraction of the objects and thus impossible to study optically. Thus to understand what these objects are is only possible with x- ray spectral and timing data. Only Con-X has the sensitivity to reach x-ray fluxes below for detailed study. HST Observations of Chandra sources (Grogin et al 2003) Invisible to HST

Conclusions Optical surveys are very incomplete and miss ~75% of all the AGN energy radiated since z<3. The evolution of lower luminosity (lower mass) AGN is opposite in sign to that of more luminous objects Hard x-ray sources are much more clustered than optical AGN and, even at z>1, lie in massive galaxies The absence of “optical” signatures is more prevalent in lower luminosity objects and is not fully understood These “very different” objects which produce most of the AGN energy in the universe can only be studied in detail with Con-X Chandra Contours on HST image Ground based optical images of Chandra sources

Summary Most AGN in the universe are not like optically selected AGN There are major changes in the nature of the sources at F(x)<2x ergs/cm 2 /sec Most of these sources are “optically dull” and radio quiet and obtaining optical redshifts is difficult Thus only x-ray spectral and timing data can determine the nature of most radiating black holes in the universe Only Con-X has the required sensitivity to study these sources individually, determine their redshifts and time variability characteristics Preliminary studies of composite spectra of these objects with XMM (Hasinger p.c.) shows that they may be rather different spectrally than brighter sources- are they radiating at a higher Eddington ratio? Strong evidence that AGN strongly influence their environment- expect strong winds (seen via x-ray absorption)- direct observation of the influence of AGN on galaxy formation (~2/3 of all stars form after z~1.2) Most of the mass of z~0 black holes is obtained via accretion rather than mergers

What is the nature of the Chandra sources? The spectra of sources harden significantly at fluxes below consistent with luminosities of sources below ergs/sec Spectrum of X-ray background Avg spectrum of bright sources Cappi 2003 Fraction of absorbed sources Yang et al 2004 X-ray flux

Origin of the Observed Spectral Hardening (Steffen et al 2004) The median redshift of x-ray selected objects with optical redshifts is ~constant ( ) Thus at lower fluxes one gets systematically lower luminosity objects At z~0 there is a “transition” such that at log L(x)>43.5 the fraction of objects that are absorbed increases rapidly (Shinozaki et al 2004) This corresponds to F(x)~5x ergs/cm 2 /sec where the spectral change occurs

What are these objects? As the x-ray flux limit deceases there is a systematic reduction in the median x-ray luminosity at ergs/cm 2 /sec at ergs/cm 2 /sec But there is no sharp change in the distribution of the absolute magnitude of the host galaxy as a function of apparent magnitude This change in median luminosity is consistent with the change in hardness ratio with flux. Most of the luminosity density from AGN in the universe originates from moderate luminosity objects at z~1- many of them have high column densities in the line of sight. Steffen et al

Large Scale Structure with X-ray Sources There are ~11 fields with Chandra (so far published) that go deeper than ergs/cm 2 /sec in the hard band (9 from our data) In the soft band there is little variance in source numbers from field to field In the hard band there is a factor of >3, on a scale of 1 ACIS-I field (17x17’) Hard band Soft band

Large Scale Structure with X-ray Sources In the Chandra deep fields a very large fraction of the sources are grouped in small redshift ranges Redshift Distribution in CDFS Redshift Distribution in CLASS 0 redshift 4

Barger et al. (2003) Redshift Distribution Majority of the sources lie at low-z; taking account of incompleteness is unlikely to significantly raise the z-peak

What are the differences in the objects The Chandra objects which have a broad optical line spectrum “classical AGN” have a very wide redshift distribution The weak-line/no line objects are at lower redshifts and lower luminosities
