The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present, for the first time, dark matter halo (DMH) mass measurement of quasars at z ∼ 6 based on a clustering analysis of 107 quasars. Spectroscopically identified quasars are homogeneously extracted from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Strategic Survey ...

Science, 1986 In the quarter century since the first optical identification of a "radio star" (3C 48), astronomers have come to general agreement that the underlying quasar energy source is accretion onto a massive black hole. There is much less agreement on the detailed physics of the processes by which this energy is converted to the forms observed, but this has ...

Quasars Probing Quasars. I. Optically Thick Absorbers near Luminous Quasars [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2006 With close pairs of quasars at different redshifts, a background quasar sightline can be used to study a foreground quasar's environment in absorption. We search 149 moderate resolution background quasar spectra, from Gemini, Keck, the MMT, and the SDSS to survey Lyman Limit Systems (LLSs) and Damped Ly-alpha systems (DLAs) in the vicinity of 1.8 < ...

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 2001 AbstractMicrolens-induced variability in multiple quasars can be used to study two cosmological issues of great interest, the size and brightness profile of quasars on one hand, and the distribution of compact (dark) matter along the line of sight on the other. Here a summary is given of recent theoretical progress as well as observational evidence for

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We explore reprocessing models for a sample of 17 hypervariable quasars, taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping project, which all show coordinated optical luminosity hypervariability with amplitudes of factors ≳2 between 2014 and ...

Finding Multiply Lensed and Binary Quasars in the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 The time delay between multiple images of strongly lensed quasars is a powerful tool for measuring the Hubble constant ( H _0 ). To achieve H _0 measurements with higher precision and accuracy using the time delay, it is crucial to expand the sample of ...

Constraining the anisotropy of the Universe with the X-ray and UV fluxes of quasars
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021 We test the anisotropy in the Finslerian cosmological model with the X-ray and ultraviolet (UV) fluxes of quasars. The 2015 and 2020 compilations of quasars are used in the cosmological constraints.
