Recent Results from the Deepest X-ray Surveys: Adventuring Through the Distant X-ray Universe |
The deepest extragalactic X-ray surveys, such as the Chandra Deep Fields, continue to provide fascinating insights about active galactic nuclei (AGNs), starburst & normal galaxies, groups & clusters, and large-scale structures in the distant X-ray universe. I will review the current status of these surveys. Topics covered will include (1) constraints upon the most heavily obscured AGNs in the distant universe; (2) the cosmic evolution of AGN accretion processes and spectral energy distributions; (3) the AGN content of forming galaxies at high redshifts, such as infrared and submillimeter sources; and (4) the X-ray evolution of non-active late-type and early-type galaxies over the last half of cosmic time. |
