Scientific paper

An outstanding question in AGN research is what role environment plays in the fueling of active galaxies. To address this issue, active galaxies must be studied in a range of environments over a range of cosmic time. We propose two deep Chandra pointings that will be used to quantify the AGN population in galaxy groups at moderate redshifts for the first time. Because groups are the ideal site for galaxy-galaxy mergers, much of the observed evolution in the AGN population may be occurring in this environment. Using fields observed as part of the CNOC2 survey, we will probe the AGN population in a statistically significant sample of 23 groups in the redshift range z=0.15 to z=0.4.
