Abstract
The Chandra Multiwavelength Project (ChaMP) is the widest area
sensitive (logfx > -15) serendipitous X-ray survey to date, providing an
invaluable probe of supermassive black hole (SMBH) accretion in 3
critical regimes, above z~3 to test the turnover of luminous optical
quasars, below z~1 to track the population boom of lower luminosity
AGN, and below z~0.3 to determine the fraction of galaxies hosting
active accretion. These 3 nights of Gemini time with GMOS-N
are ALREADY AWARDED through the Chandra/NOAO Joint time process. We
proposed for i=23 NOAO Gemini-North multi-object spectroscopy in key
fields to pave the L-z plane and expand our large, uniform,
multi-wavelength public database.
