Discovery of six high-redshift quasars with the Lijiang 2.4m telescope and the Multiple Mirror Telescope

open access: yes, 2012
Quasars with redshifts greater than 4 are rare, and can be used to probe the structure and evolution of the early universe. Here we report the discovery of six new quasars with $i$-band magnitudes brighter than 19.5 and redshifts between 2.4 and 4.6 from

Commissioning of a motion management system for a 1.5T Elekta Unity MR‐Linac: A single institution experience

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract Purpose This work describes a single institution experience of commissioning a real‐time target tracking and beam control system, known as comprehensive motion management, for a 1.5 T Elekta MR‐Linac. Methods Anatomical tracking and radiation beam control were tested using the MRI4D Quasar motion phantom.

A further discussion on quasar-galaxy associations from gravitational lensing [PDF]

open access: yesAstron.Astrophys.286:748-752,1994, 1993
Quasar-galaxy associations, if they result from the effect of gravitational lensing by foreground galaxies, depend sensitively on the shape of the quasar number counts. Two kinds of quasar number-magnitude relations are predicted to produce quite different properties in quasar-galaxy associations: the counts of Boyle, Shanks and Peterson (1988; BSP ...

Machine Learning–based Search of High-redshift Quasars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We present a machine learning search for high-redshift (5.0 < z < 6.5) quasars using the combined photometric data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Imaging Legacy Surveys and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer survey.

Optical and radio properties of giant radio quasars: Central black hole characteristics

open access: yes, 2012
We analysed the optical and radio properties of lobe-dominated giant-sized (> 0.72 Mpc) radio quasars and compared the results with those derived for a sample of smaller radio sources to determine whether the large size of some extragalactic radio ...

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Lens Search. V. Final Catalog from the Seventh Data Release

open access: yes, 2012
We present the final statistical sample of lensed quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Lens Search (SQLS). The well-defined statistical lens sample consists of 26 lensed quasars brighter than i=19.1 and in the redshift range of 0 ...

The Final SDSS High-Redshift Quasar Sample of 52 Quasars at z>5.7

open access: yes, 2016
We present the discovery of nine quasars at $z\sim6$ identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) imaging data. This completes our survey of $z\sim6$ quasars in the SDSS footprint.

The Detection Rate of Associated Mg ii Absorption Lines in Quasars Depends on Their Radio Emission

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In active galactic nuclei, jet-driven feedback plays a significant role in influencing the properties of gas within their host galaxy and the circumgalactic medium.

X-ray Insights into the Nature of Quasars with Redshifted Broad Absorption Lines

open access: yes, 2017
We present $Chandra$ observations of seven broad absorption line (BAL) quasars at $z=0.863$-2.516 with redshifted BAL troughs (RSBALs). Five of our seven targets were detected by $Chandra$ in 4-13 ks exposures with ACIS-S. The $\alpha_{\rm ox}$ values, $\
