What We Talk about When We Talk about Blazars?
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2017 After the discovery of powerful relativistic jets from Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies, and the understanding of their similarity with those of blazars, a problem of terminology was born.

Predicting the Yields of z > 6.5 Quasar Surveys in the Era of Roman and Rubin
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 About 70 luminous quasars discovered at z > 6.5 are strongly biased toward the bright end, thus not providing a comprehensive view of quasar abundance beyond the cosmic dawn. We present the predicted results of the Roman/Rubin high-redshift quasar survey,

Microlensing variability in the gravitationally lensed quasar Q2237+0305 = the Einstein Cross, I. Spectrophotometric monitoring with the VLT [PDF]
, 2008 We present the results of the first long-term (2.2 years) spectroscopic monitoring of a gravitationally lensed quasar, namely the Einstein Cross Q2237+0305.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 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.

Large-scale homogeneity in the distribution of quasars in the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall region [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2022 In light of recent debates on the existence of a gigaparsec-scale structure traced by gamma-ray bursts, namely the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall (HCBGW), we revisit large-scale homogeneity in the spatial distribution of quasars. Our volume-

COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses XIII: Time delays and 9-yr optical monitoring of the lensed quasar RX J1131-1231 [PDF]
, 2013 We present the results from nine years of optically monitoring the gravitationally lensed z=0.658 quasar RX J1131-1231. The R-band light curves of the four individual images of the quasar were obtained using deconvolution photometry for a total of 707 ...

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2014 AbstractAlthough the extragalactic nature of 3C 48 and other quasi stellar radio sources was discussed as early as 1960 by John Bolton and others, it was rejected largely because of preconceived ideas about what appeared to be unrealistically high radio and optical luminosities.

Compatibility of the large quasar groups with the concordance cosmological model [PDF]
, 2016 We study the compatibility of large quasar groups with the concordance cosmological model. Large quasar groups are very large spatial associations of quasars in the cosmic web, with sizes of 50–250 h−1 Mpc.

Statistics of Galactic-scale Quasar Pairs at Cosmic Noon
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The statistics of galactic-scale quasar pairs can elucidate our understanding of the dynamical evolution of supermassive black hole (SMBH) pairs, the duty cycles of quasar activity in mergers, or even the nature of dark matter, but they have been ...
