A Thirty-Four Billion Solar Mass Black Hole in SMSS J2157-3602, the Most Luminous Known Quasar [PDF]
, 2020 From near-infrared spectroscopic measurements of the MgII emission line doublet, we estimate the black hole (BH) mass of the quasar, SMSS J215728.21-360215.1, as being (3.4 +/- 0.6) x 10^10 M_sun and refine the redshift of the quasar to be z=4.692.

First Measurement of the Clustering Evolution of Photometrically-Classified Quasars [PDF]
, 2005 We present new measurements of the quasar autocorrelation from a sample of \~80,000 photometrically-classified quasars taken from SDSS DR1. We find a best-fit model of $\omega(\theta) = (0.066\pm^{0.026}_{0.024})\theta^{-(0.98\pm0.15)}$ for the angular ...

Circum-Galactic Medium in the Halo of Quasars
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2017 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.

Science, 1986 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 ...

Cosmology With Quasars: Predictions for eROSITA From a Quasar Hubble Diagram
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020 The effort for understanding the matter and energy content of the Universe and its evolution relies on different probes, such as cosmic background radiation, cluster lensing, supernovae.

Do Quasars Lens Quasars? [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1997 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.
