Probing the MQN01 Cosmic Structure: Unveiling a Dense Population of AGN through Chandra Observations

Description

Understanding the processes of galaxy formation and evolution requires a comprehensive exploration of the Cosmic Web, its filamentary structures, and their connection with Active Galactic Nuclei. 
I will present the analyses of 600 ks of Chandra X-ray observations of MQN01, the largest (4x4 cMpc^2) contiguous cosmic web structure discovered so far in Ly-alpha emission at z=3.2. MQN01 was identified through extensive mosaic MUSE observations, offering a unique opportunity to investigate the intricate relationship between galaxies/AGN and the large cosmic structure. Our primary objective, utilizing Chandra observations, is to perform a comprehensive census of the AGN population within MQN01 and compare their properties with those of the cosmic web, shedding light on potential connections.
