QSO Lifetimes

open access: yes, 2003
The QSO lifetime t_Q is one of the most fundamental quantities for understanding black hole and QSO evolution, yet it remains uncertain by several orders of magnitude. If t_Q is long, then only a small fraction of galaxies went through a luminous QSO phase. In contrast, a short lifetime would require most galaxies today to have undergone a QSO phase in

Optical/near-infrared selection of red QSOs: Evidence for steep extinction curves towards galactic centers?

open access: yes, 2012
We present the results of a search for red QSOs using a selection based on optical imaging from SDSS and near-infrared imaging from UKIDSS. For a sample of 58 candidates 46 (79%) are confirmed to be QSOs. The QSOs are predominantly dust-reddened except a

High-Redshift QSOs in the GOODS

open access: yes, 2006
The Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey provides significant constraints on the space density of less luminous QSOs at high redshift, which is particularly important to understand the interplay between the formation of galaxies and super-massive black holes and to measure the QSO contribution to the UV ionizing background. We present the results of

Measuring the Interstellar Medium Content of Nearby, Luminous, Type 1 and Type 2 QSOs through CO and [C ii]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present observations of CO(1–0) and CO(2–1) lines from the Institut de radioastronomie millimétrique 30 m telescope toward 20 nearby, optically luminous type 2 quasars (QSO2s) and observations of the [C ii ] 158 μ m line from the Stratospheric ...

The abundance of nitrogen in QSOs

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1976
Models of photoionized QSO emission-line regions show that measurements of O iii/N iv/C iv or N iii/C iii can yield the C/N/O ratios to an accuracy of a factor 2 or better. The N iii/C iii intensity ratios observed for the QSO PKS 1756+237 (z=1.72) implies a N/C abundance ratio 5 times larger than the solar value.

The black hole mass versus velocity dispersion relation in QSOs/Active Galactic Nuclei: observational appearance and black hole growth

open access: yes, 2004
Studies of massive black holes (BHs) in nearby galactic centers have revealed a tight correlation between BH mass and galactic velocity dispersion.
