Quasars as standard candles II [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2019
A tight non-linear relation between the X-ray and the optical-ultraviolet (UV) emission has been observed in active galactic nuclei (AGN) over a wide range of redshift and several orders of magnitude in luminosity, suggesting the existence of an ...

The Motion of a Body in Newtonian Theories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A theorem due to Bob Geroch and Pong Soo Jang [“Motion of a Body in General Relativity.” Journal of Mathematical Physics 16(1), (1975)] provides the sense in which the geodesic principle has the status of a theorem in General Relativity (GR).

Erratum: Is every strong lens model unhappy in its own way? Uniform modelling of a sample of 13 quadruply+ imaged quasars [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018
Strong-gravitational lens systems with quadruply imaged quasars (quads) are unique probes to address several fundamental problems in cosmology and astrophysics.

Pulsations of primordial supermassive stars induced by a general relativistic instability; visible to JWST at z$>$12 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The origin of high-redshift quasars and their supermassive black hole engines is unclear. One promising solution is the collapse of a primordial supermassive star.

Outflow-related radio emission in radio-quiet quasars [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
In this work, we revisit the relationship between [O III] line width w90 (as the indicator of AGN outflow velocity) and the radio emission in RQQs by employing a large sample of Type I quasars (∼37, 000) selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)

An ALMA CO(2–1) Survey of Nearby Palomar–Green Quasars [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2019
The properties of the molecular gas can shed light on the physical conditions of quasar host galaxies and the effect of feedback from accreting supermassive black holes.

Decoding signatures of extra dimensions and estimating spin of quasars from the continuum spectrum [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 2019
Continuum spectrum emitted by the accretion disk around quasars hold a wealth of information regarding the strong gravitational field produced by the massive central object.

Jet efficiencies and black hole spins in jetted quasars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The mechanisms responsible for the production of relativistic jets from supermassive black holes (SMBHs) accreting at near-Eddington rates are not well-understood.

PHOTOMETRIC REDSHIFTS AND QUASAR PROBABILITIES FROM A SINGLE, DATA-DRIVEN GENERATIVE MODEL [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2012
We describe a technique for simultaneously classifying and estimating the redshift of quasars. It can separate quasars from stars in arbitrary redshift ranges, estimate full posterior distribution functions for the redshift, and naturally incorporate flux uncertainties, missing data, and multi-wavelength photometry.

Measurements of H0 in modified gravity theories: The role of lensed quasars in the late-time Universe

open access: yes, 2020
In this work, we obtain measurements of the Hubble constant in the context of modified gravity theories. We set up our theoretical framework by considering viable cosmological $f(R)$ and $f(T)$ models, and we analyzed them through the use of geometrical ...
