The Chandra COSMOS Legacy Survey: clustering dependence of Type 2 AGN on
  host galaxy properties
  Aims. We perform clustering measurements of 800 X-ray selected Chandra COSMOS
Legacy (CCL) Type 2 AGN with known spectroscopic redshift to probe the halo
mass dependence on AGN host galaxy properties, such as galaxy stellar mass
Mstar, star formation rate (SFR) and specific black hole accretion rate (BHAR),
in the redshift range z = [0 - 3].
  Methods. We split the sample of AGN with known spectroscopic redshits
according to Mstar, SFR and specific BHAR, while matching the distributions in
terms of the other parameters, including redshift. We measure the projected
two-point correlation function wp(rp) and model it with the 2-halo term to
derive the large-scale bias b and the corresponding typical mass of the hosting
halo, for the different subsamples.
  Results. We found no significant dependence of the large-scale bias and
typical halo mass on galaxy stellar mass and specific BHAR for CCL Type 2 AGN
at mean z~1, while a negative dependence on SFR is observed, with lower SFR AGN
residing in richer environment. Mock catalogs of AGN matched to have the same
X-ray luminosity, stellar mass, specific BHAR and SFR of CCL Type 2 AGN, almost
reproduce the observed Mstar, specific BHAR and SFR-Mh relations, when assuming
a fraction of satellite AGN of 15%, which corresponds to a ratio between the
probabilities of satellite and central AGN of being active Q = 2. Mock matched
normal galaxies follow a slightly steeper Mstar -Mh relation with low mass mock
galaxies residing in less massive halos than mock AGN of similar mass, and are
less biased than mock AGN with similar specific BHAR and SFR, at least for Q >
1.
