1	Elvis	Martin	elvis@cfa.harvard.edu	Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics	1. The Chandra COSMOS Survey 2. Compton-thick & Compton-thin AGN: Two different origins	1. The Chandra COSMOS Survey has just been approved as a Very Large Program for Cycle 8. C-COSMOS surveys the central square degree of the COSMOS field to 200ksec depth, a total of 1.8Ms. The survey science and strategy will be discussed. 2. Evidence that Compton-thick and Compton-thin obscured AGN have two physically different origins on different scales are presented and the implications for surveys and AGN evolution are discussed.	oral		Monday: Type I and II AGN, Absorption, XBONGs, Tuesday: AGN correlation functions, LSS, environments	9
2	Grindlay	Josh	josh@cfa.harvard.edu	Harvard	BAT Slew Survey (BATSS): Extending GRBs and AGN Flares to EXIST	We are implementing a survey using Swift/BAT event mode data from the $\sim$60 "target slews" per day vs. the previously available $\sim$3 GRB slews per week. This will increase BAT coverage and sensitivity for high z GRBs as well as AGN flares. Analysis of available GRB slews shows that due to averaging of detector and sky systematics, the sum of slews are appreciably more sensitive than pointed exposures of the same total time. BATSS will search for short duration flares of AGN ($\sim$1-10h), as expected from Blazars, and test scanning coded aperture imaging as proposed for EXIST.	oral	-Need for future sensitive all-sky hard X-ray surveys such as EXIST. -Importance of measuring Type II QSO luminosity function for highest Lx -Variability surveys to establish or constrain BH mass (from PDFs)	Monday: Type I and II AGN, Absorption, XBONGs, Tuesday: AGN correlation functions, LSS, environments	9
3	Richards	Gordon	gtr@physics.drexel.edu	Drexel University	Bayesian Quasar Classification on the SDSS Equatorial Stripe	We discuss the application of Bayesian techniques to classify quasars, identifing of order 1 million quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Photometric redshifts can be computed to better than 0.1 in redshift for the majority of the sample. Deeper coverage in the southern equatorial region allows for quasar selection to nearly i=22 and provides an optimal area for the next generation of deep-wide mid-IR and X-ray surveys. Science applications include using the quasar luminosity function to constrain merger models and determining absolute cosmic distances to high-redshift using baryon accoustic oscillations.	oral	The SDSS Equatorial Stripe has 25 epochs of co-added data, reaching much fainter than other areas of the SDSS. This area is also being covered by UKIDSS. I'm pushing for a deep Spitzer survey in this area. This region of the sky is a logical place to carry out the next wide-field X-ray survey.

4	Wang	Sheng	wiley@phys.columbia.edu	Columbia University	Constraining Dark Energy with X-ray Selected Galaxy Clusters	Future surveys will yield thousands of galaxy clusters and can place precise statistical constraints on cosmological parameters. We use a Fisher matrix approach to quantify constraints in forthcoming surveys that will identify clusters by their X-ray emission. Non-cosmological parameters are simultaneously included in our analysis (self-calibration), which express uncertainties in the mass-observable relations. We find that by combining observables, such as the abundance evolution (dN/dz) and the spatial power spectrum (P(k)), degeneracies (both among cosmological parameters, and between cosmological and non-cosmological parameters) can be broken, and tight constraints can be obtained on (1) the evolution of the dark energy equation of state dw/dz and on (2) the mass of neutrinos. Combining cluster data with CMB anisotropy measurements by Planck further breaks degeneracies and tightens contstriants.	oral		Monday: X-ray luminosity functions and evolution, Tuesday: AGN correlation functions, LSS, environments	9
5	Wright	Edward	wright@astro.ucla.edu	UCLA	Surveying for AGNs with the Widefield Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE)	Active Galactic Nuclei are bright and relatively unobscured in both the infrared and the hard X-ray bands. The Widefield Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) will survey the entire sky in 4 mid-IR bands from 3.3 to 23 $\mu$m. The 23 $\mu$m band, with a required sensitivity of 2.6 mJy, should be able to detect a half million AGNs with a median redshift of 1.2 if the Hopkins et al. (2006) wavelength dependent quasar luminosity function is correct.	oral	What is the future of the Beyond Einstein program at NASA?
