CONSTRAINING SUB-PARSEC BINARY SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES IN QUASARS WITH MULTI-EPOCH SPECTROSCOPY. I. THE GENERAL QUASAR POPULATION [PDF]

open access: bronzeThe Astrophysical Journal, 2013
We perform a systematic search for sub-parsec binary supermassive black holes (BHs) in normal broad-line quasars at z < 0.8, using multi-epoch Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectroscopy of the broad Hβ line.

QUANTIFYING QUASAR VARIABILITY AS PART OF A GENERAL APPROACH TO CLASSIFYING CONTINUOUSLY VARYING SOURCES [PDF]

open access: greenThe Astrophysical Journal, 2009
Robust fast methods to classify variable light curves in large sky surveys are becoming increasingly important. While it is relatively straightforward to identify common periodic stars and particular transient events (supernovae, novae, microlensing), there is no equivalent for non-periodic continuously varying sources (quasars, aperiodic stellar ...

Astroinformatics of galaxies and quasars: a new general method for photometric redshifts estimation

open access: green, 2012
The catalogs are available as Cone Searches in the Virtual Observatory. Contact olaurino@head.cfa.harvard.edu AbstractWith the availability of the huge amounts of data produced by current and future large multiband photometric surveys, photometric redshifts have become a crucial tool for extragalactic astronomy and cosmology. In this paper we present a

Massive Spheres in General Relativity & Large Gravitational of Quasars [PDF]

open access: yes, 1973
287-292The effect of a layer of high density matter surrounding a spherical configuration has been studied. It has been shown that the maximum surface red-shift zs can be as large as 4.828.

Constraining Sub-parsec Binary Supermassive Black Holes in Quasars with Multi-epoch Spectroscopy. I. The General Quasar Population

open access: yes, 2019
We perform a systematic search for sub-parsec binary supermassive black holes (BHs) in normal broad-line quasars at z < 0.8, using multi-epoch Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectroscopy of the broad H beta line. Our working model is that (1) one and

THE DISCOVERY OF QUASARS AND ITS AFTERMATH

open access: yes, 2016
: Although the extragalactic nature of quasars was discussed as early as 1960 by John Bolton and others it was rejected largely because of preconceived ideas about what appeared to be an unrealistically-high radio and optical luminosity.

Origin of regularities in the redshift distributions of distant galaxies and quasars [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
A model in which inhomogeneities originated during inflation and transformed eventually into density peaks with maximum wavelength equal to the horizon size at the decoupling epoch (z{sub dec} {approx} 10{sup 3}) would give at the present for very large ...

Clustering and redshift-space distortions in QSO and galaxy surveys [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In this thesis, we exploit the potential of existing QSO and galaxy surveys for investigating the nature of the large scale structure in the Universe. A detailed analysis of clustering and redshift- space distortions allows us to constrain cosmological ...
