Discovery of 24 radio-bright quasars at 4.9 ≤ [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2022
High-redshift quasars (z >  5) that also shine brightly at radio wavelengths are unique signposts of supermassive black hole activity in the early universe.

Variability in Quasar Light Curves: using quasars as standard candles [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2022
A relation between the variational slope, $s_F$ , and the mean absolute magnitude, $\langle M \rangle$, in the light curves of 58 spectroscopically confirmed quasars is measured with a dispersion of 0.15dex.

High Metal Content of Highly Accreting Quasars [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2021
We present an analysis of UV spectra of 13 quasars believed to belong to extreme Population A (xA) quasars, aimed at the estimation of the chemical abundances of the broad-line-emitting gas.

Far-infrared emission in luminous quasars accompanied by nuclear outflows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Combining large-area optical quasar surveys with the new far-infrared (FIR) Herschel-ATLAS Data Release 1, we search for an observational signature associated with the minority of quasars possessing bright FIR luminosities.

Chemical enrichment and accretion of nitrogen-loud quasars⋆⋆⋆ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We present rest-frame optical spectra of 12 “nitrogen-loud” quasars at z ~ 2.2, whose rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) spectra show strong nitrogen broad emission lines.

Testing general relativity on cosmological scales at redshift z ∼ 1.5 with quasar and CMB lensing [PDF]

open access: bronzeMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
ABSTRACT We test general relativity (GR) at the effective redshift $\bar{z} \sim 1.5$ by estimating the statistic EG, a probe of gravity, on cosmological scales $19 - 190\, h^{-1}{\rm Mpc}$. This is the highest redshift and largest scale estimation of EG so far.
