Halo occupation distributions of moderate X-ray AGNS formed through major and minor mergers in A Λ-CDM Cosmology

Motivated by the shape of the halo occupation distribution (HOD) of Xray selected AGNs in the COSMOS field recently inferred by Allevato et al., we investigated the HOD properties of moderate X-ray luminosity active galactic nuclei (mXAGNs) using a simple model based on the merging activity between dark matter �
