Scientific paper

Extensive literature clearly demonstrates that powerful, radio?loud AGN are preferentially located in rich environments. We propose to take advantage of that tendency by obtaining a snapshot survey of rich galaxy clusters associated with radio?loud AGN at z>2. This proposal extends our successful Cycle 7 snapshot program identifying clusters around radio-loud AGN at 1.31.3. Our proposed program will enhance the number of clusters known at high redshift, and will be sufficiently deep to measure the luminosity function, including its faint end slope, to ~m*+2. We will study evolutionary trends, the relationship between radio power and environment, as well as probe AGN unification models by comparing the environments of radio galaxies to a matched sample of radio?loud quasars.
