The clustering of X-ray selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs) appears to be a valuable tool for extracting cosmological information. Using the recent high-precision angular clustering results of ∼30,000 XMM-Newton soft (0.5–2 keV) X-ray sources, which have a median redshift of 𝓏 ∼ 1, and assuming a flat geometry, a constant in comoving coordinates AGN clustering evolution, and the AGN bias evolution model of Basilakos et al., we manage to break the σ₈–Ωₘ degeneracy. The resulting cosmological constraints are Ωₘ = 0.27⁺⁰˙⁰³₋₀.₀₅, w = −0.90⁺⁰˙¹⁰₋₀.₁₆, and σ₈ = 0.74⁺⁰˙¹⁴₋₀.₁₂, while the dark matter host halo mass, in which the X-ray selected AGNs are presumed to reside, is M = 2.50⁺⁰˙⁵⁰₋₁.₅₀,×10¹³ h⁻¹M⊙ . For the constant Λ model (w = −1) we find Ωₘ = 0.24±0.06 and σ₈= 0.83⁺⁰˙¹¹₋₀.₁₆, in good agreement with recent studies based on cluster abundances, weak lensing, and the cosmic microwave background, but in disagreement with the recent bulk flow analysis.
