Rapidly Spinning Black Holes in Quasars: An Open Question

open access: yes, 2008
Wang et al. (2006) estimated an average radiative efficiency of 30% -- 35% for quasars at moderate redshift. We find that their method is not independent of quasar lifetimes and thus that quasars do not necessarily have such high efficiencies ...

Polarization of Quasars [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1972
I report here work done at Jodrell Bank by Mr John Gilbert and myself at a wavelength of 49 cm, on the degree of linear polarization, m49. For most sources the polarization is considerably reduced from its short wavelength value. We presume that most of this depolarization is by Faraday rotation, or rather by Faraday dispersion, between different parts

Quasar: A Programming Framework for Rapid Prototyping [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We present a new programming framework, Quasar, which facilitates GPU programming. Our high-level programming language relieves the developer of all implementation details such that he can focus on the algorithm and the required accuracy.

Effects of Biases in Virial Mass Estimation on Cosmic Synchronization of Quasar Accretion

open access: yes, 2011
Recent work using virial mass estimates and the quasar mass-luminosity plane has yielded several new puzzles regarding quasar accretion, including a sub-Eddington boundary on most quasar accretion, near-independence of the accretion rate from properties ...

Fast Outflow in the Host Galaxy of the Luminous z = 7.5 Quasar J1007+2115

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The James Webb Space Telescope opens a new window to directly probe luminous quasars powered by billion solar mass black holes in the Epoch of Reionization and their coevolution with massive galaxies with unprecedented details.

First Results from the JWST Early Release Science Program Q3D: The Fast Outflow in a Red Quasar at z = 0.44

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Quasar feedback may play a key role in the evolution of massive galaxies. The dust-reddened quasar F2M110648.35+480712 at z = 0.4352 is one of the few cases at its redshift that exhibits powerful quasar feedback through bipolar outflows.
