Do Quasars Lens Quasars? [PDF]
If the unexpectedly high frequency of quasar pairs with very different component redshifts is due to the lensing of a population of background quasars by the foreground quasar, typical lens masses must be $\sim10^{12}M_{\sun}$ and the sum of all such quasar lenses would have to contain $\sim0.005$ times the closure density of the Universe.

Localization accuracy of 6-second CBCT for lung IGRT with various breathing patterns. [PDF]
Abstract Purpose The 6‐second cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) acquisition of the Ethos HyperSight (Varian Medical Systems, Inc. Palo Alto, CA, USA) on‐board imaging system offers benefits, but could be too fast to accurately capture an average target position in a free‐breathing lung cancer patient. This study aimed to ascertain whether a 6‐second

We report the discovery of COOL J0335−1927, a quasar at z = 3.27 lensed into three images with a maximum separation of 23.″3 by a galaxy cluster at z = 0.4178. To date, this is the highest redshift wide-separation lensed quasar known.

Quasars Probing Quasars. I. Optically Thick Absorbers near Luminous Quasars [PDF]
With close pairs of quasars at different redshifts, a background quasar sightline can be used to study a foreground quasar's environment in absorption. We search 149 moderate resolution background quasar spectra, from Gemini, Keck, the MMT, and the SDSS to survey Lyman Limit Systems (LLSs) and Damped Ly-alpha systems (DLAs) in the vicinity of 1.8 < ...

Circum-Galactic Medium in the Halo of Quasars
The properties of circum-galactic gas in the halo of quasar host galaxies are investigated analyzing Mg II 2800 and C IV 1540 absorption-line systems along the line of sight close to quasars.

AbstractMicrolens-induced variability in multiple quasars can be used to study two cosmological issues of great interest, the size and brightness profile of quasars on one hand, and the distribution of compact (dark) matter along the line of sight on the other. Here a summary is given of recent theoretical progress as well as observational evidence for

In the quarter century since the first optical identification of a "radio star" (3C 48), astronomers have come to general agreement that the underlying quasar energy source is accretion onto a massive black hole. There is much less agreement on the detailed physics of the processes by which this energy is converted to the forms observed, but this has ...
