  1. Tracing the Accretion History of the Universe by stacking X-rays from Red Galaxies in the NDWFS Kate Brand, NOAO, Tucson A. Dey, B. Jannuzi, M. Brown, J. Najita, C. Kochanek, C. Watson, D.

  2. The NDWFS / XBoÖtes fields

  3. Summary • Stacking analysis of X-rays from optically selected galaxies to determine mean X-ray properties and how this evolves. • Wide field / deep multi-band optical data • AGN / star formation.

  4. The NDWFS red galaxy population (Brown et al. 2003) 3316 red galaxies in 1.4 deg2 region selected by model SED fitting to photometric data Photometric redshifts, z= 0.3-0.9 Same evolution corrected absolute magnitude distribution over all redshifts (MR < -20.5) -> tracing same population

  5. The stacked X-ray images

  6. Evolution of X-ray Luminosity with Redshift TOTAL HARD SOFT

  7. Future Work • The full 9 deg2 -> ~ 7 x number of objects -> better number statistics • Smaller errors • Divide population into sub-populations • Mean X-ray spectra • Bimodality in number counts • Stacking of X-rays in different optical populations - AGN / Star formation • Multi-wavelength data - deep radio / FIR - star formation rates

  8. Extraction radius / off-axis distance

  9. Results

  10. Number counts

  11. Tau distribution

  12. MR distribution
