Radio emission from active galactic nucleus (AGN) is known to be suppressing stellar growth in the most massive galaxies, thus becoming significant ingredient in modeling galaxy formation process. Radio luminosity function across cosmic redshifts (z) is an important tool to constrain the co-evolutionary models of radio AGN and its host galaxy. Therefore, we aim to calculate radio luminosity function at 1.4 GHz frequency for radio AGN in the range of 0.1 ≤ z ≤ 1.3 in this work. The radio data was taken from deep VLA observation of Stripe 82 field at angular resolution of 1.8″ and 52 μJy sensitivity. On the other hand, the optical/near-infrared data was taken from Dark Energy Survey DR1 observation in g, r, i, z, Y bands with co-added catalog limiting magnitude of i = 23.44. We estimated the photometric redshift (photo-z) of each sources by using combined two machine learning algorithms: Neural networks and boosted regression trees. We successfully performed accurate photo-z measurement with average bias δ =-3.5 × 10-3, scatter σ = 0.15 and outlier fraction f(3σ) = 0.06. By using 1/V max method, we calculated the luminosity function, then constrained their evolution with pure density evolution (PDE) or pure luminosity evolution (PLE) model. At median z = {0.31, 0.59, 0.88, 1.10}, we found the power-law index of PDE is αD = {1.29, 1.43, 1.73, 0.94} while for PLE is αL = {2.28, 2.59, 3.19, 1.63}. Our result is consistent with previous studies and gives better constraint to radio AGN luminosity and density evolution power-law indexes due to larger number of sources (6900) and wider covered sky fraction (92 deg2).[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Active galactic nuclei,Angular resolution,Boosted regression trees,Density evolution,Formation mechanism,Galaxy formations,Luminosity functions,Number of sources[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/1231/1/012005[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
