DESCRIPTION:The AEGIS-X survey is a 3.4Ms Chandra survey of the Extended G
 roth Strip (EGS) region\, designed primarily for studying the co-evolution
  of black holes and their host galaxies. The original phase of the survey 
 comprised of 8 contiguous ACIS-I pointings\, each with nominal exposure 20
 0ks\, covering a total area of approximately 0.67 deg^2^ in a strip of len
 gth 2 degrees. A total of 1325 band-merged sources were detected to a Pois
 son probability limit of 4 x 10^-6^\, with limiting fluxes of 5.3 times 10
 ^-17^ erg cm^2^ s^-1^ in the soft (0.5-2 keV) band and 3.8 x 10^-16^ erg c
 m^-2^ s^-1^ in the hard (2-10 keV) band. These observations cover a region
  with excellent supporting ground and space-based panchromatic data (e.g. 
 GALEX\, HST/ACS\, CFHTLS\, Spitzer/IRAC\, Spitzer/MIPS\, VLA) and ~20 000 
 spectroscopic redshifts from the DEEP2 and DEEP3 surveys. The second phase
  of AEGIS-X has recently been completed and comprises of an additional 1.6
 Ms in the central 3 pointings in the strip\, where the supporting data is 
 strongest. I will present the first results from the new\, deeper AEGIS-X 
 survey as well as reviewing some of the key results from the survey to dat
 e. In particular I will focus on the optical spectral properties\, environ
 ment\, stellar mass function and morphology of the X-ray sources.
