Abstract: (arXiv)
The environmental properties of a sample of 31 hard X-ray selected AGN are investigated, from scales of 500 kpc down to 30 kpc, and are compared to a control sample of inactive galaxies. The AGN all lie in the redshift range 0.4=0 clusters. It is suggested that minor mergers with low mass companions is a likely candidate for the mechanism by which these modest luminosity AGN are fuelled.
