We present the COSMOS2015 a catalog which contains precise photometric redshifts and stellar masses for more than half a million objects over the 2deg 2 COSMOS field. Including new Y JHK s images from the UltraVISTA-DR2 survey, Y -band from Subaru/Hyper-Suprime-Cam and infrared data from the Spitzer Large Area Survey with the Hyper-Suprime-Cam Spitzer legacy program, this near-infraredselected catalog is highly optimized for the study of galaxy evolution and environments in the early Universe. To maximise catalog completeness for bluer objects and at higher redshifts, objects have been detected on a χ 2 sum of the Y JHK s and z ++ images. The catalog contains ∼ 6 × 10 5 objects in the 1.5 deg 2 UltraVISTA-DR2 region, and ∼ 1.5 × 10 5 objects are detected in the "ultra-deep stripes" (0.62 deg 2 ) at K s ≤ 24.7 (3σ, 3 , AB magnitude). Through a comparison with the zCOSMOSbright spectroscopic redshifts, we measure a photometric redshift precision of σ ∆z/(1+zs) = 0.007 and a catastrophic failure fraction of η = 0.5%. At 3 < z < 6, using the unique database of spectroscopic redshifts in COSMOS, we find σ ∆z/(1+zs) = 0.021 and η = 13.2%. The deepest regions reach a 90% completeness limit of 10 10 M to z = 4. Detailed comparisons of the color distributions, number counts, and clustering show excellent agreement with the literature in the same mass ranges. COSMOS2015 represents a unique, publicly available, valuable resource with which to investigate the evolution of galaxies within their environment back to the earliest stages of the history of the Universe. The COSMOS2015 catalog is distributed via anonymous ftp b and through the usual astronomical archive systems (CDS, ESO, IRSA).

We present the catalog of optical and infrared counterparts of the Chandra COSMOS-Legacy Survey, a 4.6 Ms Chandra program on the 2.2 deg 2 of the COSMOS field, combination of 56 new overlapping observations obtained in Cycle 14 with the previous C-COSMOS survey. In this Paper we report the i, K, and 3.6 μm identifications of the 2273 X-ray point sources detected in the new Cycle 14 observations. We use the likelihood ratio technique to derive the association of optical/infrared (IR) counterparts for 97% of the X-ray sources. We also update the information for the 1743 sources detected in C-COSMOS, using new K and 3.6 μm information not available when the C-COSMOS analysis was performed. The final catalog contains 4016 X-ray sources, 97% of which have an optical/IR counterpart and a photometric redshift, while ;54% of the sources have a spectroscopic redshift. The full catalog, including spectroscopic and photometric redshifts and optical and X-ray properties described here in detail, is available online. We study several X-ray to optical (X/O) properties: with our large statistics we put better constraints on the X/O flux ratio locus, finding a shift toward faint optical magnitudes in both soft and hard X-ray band. We confirm the existence of a correlation between X/O and the the 2-10 keV luminosity for Type 2 sources. We extend to low luminosities the analysis of the correlation between the fraction of obscured AGNs and the hard band luminosity, finding a different behavior between the optically and X-ray classified obscured fraction.

Based on a sample of over 1, 800 radio AGN at redshifts out to z ∼ 5, which have typical stellar masses within ∼ 3 × (10 10 − 10 11 ) M ⊙ , and 3 GHz radio data in the COSMOS field, we derived the 1.4 GHz radio luminosity functions for radio AGN (L 1.4GHz ∼ 10 22 − 10 27 W Hz −1 ) out to z ∼ 5. We constrained the evolution of this population via continuous models of pure density and pure luminosity evolutions, and we found best-fit parametrizations of Φ * ∝ (1 + z) (2.00±0.18)−(0.60±0.14)z , and L * ∝ (1 + z) (2.88±0.82)−(0.84±0.34)z , respectively, with a turnover in number and luminosity densities of the population at z ≈ 1.5. We converted 1.4 GHz luminosity to kinetic luminosity taking uncertainties of the scaling relation used into account. We thereby derived the cosmic evolution of the kinetic luminosity density provided by the AGN and compared this luminosity density to the radio-mode AGN feedback assumed in the Semi-Analytic Galaxy Evolution (SAGE) model, i.e., to the redshift evolution of the central supermassive black hole accretion luminosity taken in the model as the source of heating that offsets the energy losses of the cooling, hot halo gas, and thereby limits further stellar mass growth of massive galaxies. We find that the kinetic luminosity exerted by our radio AGN may be high enough to balance the radiative cooling of the hot gas at each cosmic epoch since z ∼ 5. However, although our findings support the idea of radio-mode AGN feedback as a cosmologically relevant process in massive galaxy formation, many simplifications in both the observational and semi-analytic approaches still remain and need to be resolved before robust conclusions can be reached.
