FINALISTS from the 2006
Extragalactic Surveys Chandra Science Workshop
for
MOST IMPORTANT SURVEY SCIENCE TOPICS (MISSTs)
with * related observational notes.
Impact
of Environments on galaxies (e.g., SFR).
Are AGN really created/fueled by mergers?
History of accretion.
- Need to know the Compton thick fraction.
- Deep optical/IR of many 100ksec may be the
best approach.
Physics and evolution of absorption.
- Study local examples with detailed knowledge
of their X-ray spectral complexity and simulate how they'd look at
high-z!
- Watch out for the effect of fine structure in
Galactic Nh!
Physics and evolution of groups and clusters.
- Need followup of wide area surveys e.g., ROSAT
or S-Z
Effect of AGN feedback on galaxy hosts, groups, clusters, and LSS.
- Need good measurements of kinetic luminosity
in local AGN first!
- Then of BALQSOs
- But do radio-quiet quasars inhabit galaxy
clusters?
Cluster mass function at high-z and growth of structure.
- Needs more than detection!; morphology,
temperature maps.
