In this study, the influence of host galaxy properties on X-ray active galactic nuclei (AGN) clusters was investigated using multiwavelength data. X-ray data from the eFEDS main catalog, optical and near-infrared data from the fourth data release of KiDS/VIKING, and mid-infrared data from WISE were utilized. By integrating these datasets and employing the CIGALE code, the star formation rate, luminosity, and stellar mass of the host galaxies were estimated. The analysis reveals significant associations between luminosity, stellar mass, and star formation rate, providing valuable insights into AGN activity. Furthermore, AGN clusters were compared with non-AGN clusters to uncover distinctive characteristics. AGN clusters exhibit differences in their population across various luminosity levels. Interestingly, a significant proportion of AGN clusters is concentrated in the middle range of luminosity (45-46 measured in logL(0.5-2.0 keV)) for both low and high redshift classifications. Additionally, galaxies hosting AGNs detected in X-ray emission tend to fall within a specific range of stellar mass (10-11 measured in log(M⋆(M⊚)). This stellar mass range is populated by a substantial number of AGN galaxies, irrespective of their redshift classification. Moreover, a significant population of X-ray AGN is concentrated within the star formation rate range of 1.5-2.5 (expressed in log(M⊚ yr-1)) in both low and high redshift regions. By analyzing the dependencies on luminosity, stellar mass, and star formation rate, this study provides valuable insights into the correlation and relationship between AGN clusters and their host galaxies. The comparison with non-AGN clusters and the integration of multiwavelength data from eFEDS, KiDS/VIKING, and WISE enhance the depth of analysis, contributing to a comprehensive evaluation of AGN clusters. These findings advance our understanding of the complex relationship between AGN clusters and host galaxy properties in the field of astrophysics.
