Abstract

We propose a 240 hour 2.1GHz survey with ATCA/CABB of the 25 sq deg XXM-Newton XXL-South field. This field has excellent X-ray coverage, as well as complementary photometric and spectroscopic information across the spectrum. Following on from our successful pilot survey of 5 sq deg within this field, we propose to survey the remaining 20 sq deg to an rms sensitivity of ~47 micro-Jy/beam. Combining this with existing, shallower data in the field, we will reach a final depth of ~43 micro-Jy/beam. With this wide-field, sensitive radio data we will detect large numbers of low-luminosity radio-loud AGN out to high redshift (z~3). In particular, the wide field will allow us to detect appreciable numbers of the rarer galaxies at the highest radio luminosities. We will therefore construct the most sophisticated evolving radio luminosity function available to date. This will provide valuable insights into the role of radio-mode feedback on the evolution of massive galaxies. The unique synergy of wide-field radio and X-ray data will also allow us to examine the influence of such feedback and heating physics on larger-scale cluster environments.
