论文摘要

我们提出了一系列新的,可公开的模拟目录的X射线选择活性银河核(AGN),非活动星系和星系簇。它们基于对X射线外X射线源及其外推的人群的最新观察结果。这些模拟在0.5-2 keV频段中达到低于1E-20 ERG S-1 cm-2的通量,即在未来的深层领域的预测限制以下,因此代表了一个重要的工具,并以simul simul simul simul simul simulsiact simulsiactiact simul simulsiactiactiact simul simul simul simul serife simulsiactiact simul simul simuls x-ray ray ray ray ray ray ray ray serife serife serife x-ray。我们使用模拟来执行一组X射线调查的端到端模拟,并通过即将到来的雅典娜任务进行,并通过Axis Probe(轴心探测器),这是向Astro 2020 decadal调查提出的子弧形分辨率X射线任务概念。我们发现这些提出的下一代调查可能会改变我们对深X射线宇宙的了解。例如,在总观察时间为15 \,MS,Axis将检测到约225,000个AGN和50,000美元的非活动星系,达到0.5-2 KeV频段中的磁通限制f_0.5-2〜5e-19erg/s/cm2,并且相对于当前X-rays的Surve vestions的范围超过了幅度。因此,在X射线中将首次检测到其中90%的来源。此外,我们表明,在RedShift Z> 6处,诸如Axis和Athena之类的乐器(如Axis和Athena)的深度和宽阔的X射线调查将检测到约20,000 Z> 3 AGN和〜250个来源,从而为AGN在宇宙时间上的演变开辟了新的知识窗口,并对Blastical Interytical Models of Blasticy Models of Black sep propertive of Proppertical Seed Promece in of the of cosmic time of cosmic persece persece in of thack sep promotical sep prom of早期构成了良好的预测。

We present a series of new, publicly available mock catalogs of X-ray selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs), non-active galaxies, and clusters of galaxies. They are based on up-to-date observational results on the demographic of extragalactic X-ray sources and their extrapolations.These mocks reach fluxes below 1E-20 erg s-1 cm-2 in the 0.5-2 keV band, i.e., more than an order of magnitude below the predicted limits of future deep fields, and therefore represent an important tool for simulating extragalactic X-ray surveys with both current and future telescopes. We use our mocks to perform a set of end-to-end simulations of X-ray surveys with the forthcoming Athena mission and with the AXIS probe, a sub-arcsecond resolution X-ray mission concept proposed to the Astro 2020 Decadal Survey. We find that these proposed, next generation surveys may transform our knowledge of the deep X-ray Universe. As an example, in a total observing time of 15\,Ms, AXIS would detect ~225,000 AGNs and ~$50,000 non-active galaxies, reaching a flux limit f_0.5-2~5E-19 erg/s/cm2 in the 0.5-2 keV band, with an improvement of over an order of magnitude with respect to surveys with current X-ray facilities. Consequently, 90% of these sources would be detected for the first time in the X-rays. Furthermore, we show that deep and wide X-ray surveys with instruments like AXIS and Athena are expected to detect ~20,000 z>3 AGNs and ~250 sources at redshift z>6, thus opening a new window of knowledge on the evolution of AGNs over cosmic time and putting strong constraints on the predictions of theoretical models of black hole seed accretion in the early universe.
