We study the environmental properties of z<1.2 radio-selected AGN belonging to the ~2 square degrees of the COSMOS field, finding that about 20% of them appear within overdense structures. AGN with $P[1.4 GHz]>10^{23.5} W Hz^{-1} sr^{-1}$…

This work is part of a series of studies focusing on the environment and the properties of the X-ray selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) population from the XXL survey. The present survey, given its large area, continuity, extensive…

The environments of a complete subsample of 6 of the most powerful radio-loud AGN at redshifts z~1.6 are investigated, using deep RJK imaging to depths of R~26, J~22.4 and K~20.6. An excess of galaxy counts in the K-band is seen across…

We conduct a study on the relationship between galaxy environments and their active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity at high redshifts ($2.0<z<4.0$). Specifically, we study the AGN fraction in galaxies residing in a range of environments at…

We compute the cross-correlation between a sample of 14,000 radio-loud AGN (RLAGN) with redshifts between 0.4 and 0.8 selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and a reference sample of 1.2 million luminous red galaxies in the same…
