Introduction Aim of thesis: Clustering properties of “normal” vs. active galaxies at z=3 Clustering Intrinsic properties of Dark Matter halos Galaxies and SMBHs seem to evolve together AGN feedback z = 3, universe was young, only 2 Gyr old Near peak of AGN activity Galaxies: young, just being formed

Broad-band selection Lyman Break Galaxies (LBG) Galaxies with their Lyman break (restframe 912Å) between U and V at z~3. Selected by UVR color + R<25.5 1388 candidates in ECDF-S, 4147 in full MUSYC

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) X-Ray detection + LBG selection 59 “XUVR” candidates in ECDF-S Lx ~ 10 43 - 10 45 erg/s AGN frac = 2 1%

LBG halos end up in ellipticals at z=0, AGN in big elliptical or poor clusters z=3.1 LAEs have the lowest masses!! Could be progenitors of L* galaxies at z=0 Descendants of LBGs, AGN and LAEs

Distribution of descendants at z=0 in terms of halo mass… LAE LBG AGN M(L*)
15
Summary/Conclusions New “XUVR” method for high-z AGN selection, applicable to future, wide-field (x-ray) surveys with minimal spectroscopy Intermediate luminosity AGN cluster somewhat more strongly than LBG with similar colors Confirm results that LBG are progenitors of elliptical galaxies at z=0, while “XUVR” AGN about 1 order of magnitude more massive. LAEs show fairly weak clustering at z=3.1, and appear to be progenitors of many of today’s L* galaxies
