Exploring the Spectral Energy Distributions of Luminous Broad Absorption Line Quasars at High Redshift

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the multiwavelength spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for 65 luminous broad absorption line (BAL) quasars with redshifts 1.55 ≲  z  ≲ 3.50 from the Gemini Near Infrared Spectrograph–Distant Quasar Survey (GNIRS-DQS).

VaDAR: Varstrometry for Dual AGN Using Radio Interferometry

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Binary and dual active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are an important observational tool for studying the formation and dynamical evolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes.

A Surprising Excess of Radio Emission in Extremely Stable Quasars: A Unique Clue to Jet Launching?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Quasars are generally divided into jetted radio-loud and nonjetted radio-quiet ones, but why only 10% of quasars are radio-loud has been puzzling for decades.

Subaru High-z Exploration of Low-luminosity Quasars (SHELLQs). XVII. Black Hole Mass Distribution at z ∼ 6 Estimated via Spectral Comparison with Low-z Quasars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report the distribution of black hole (BH) masses and Eddingont ratios estimated for a sample of 131 low luminosity quasars in the early cosmic epoch (5.6 < z < 7.0).

EIGER. V. Characterizing the Host Galaxies of Luminous Quasars at z ≳ 6

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report JWST/NIRCam measurements of quasar host galaxy emissions and supermassive black hole (SMBH) masses for six quasars at 5.9 < z < 7.1 in the Emission-line galaxies and Intergalactic Gas in the Epoch of Reionization (EIGER) project. We obtain deep

Environments around Quasars at z ∼ 3 Revealed by Wide-field Imaging with Subaru HSC and CFHT

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We examine the local density environments around 67 quasars at z ∼ 3 by combining the imaging data of Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program and Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope Large Area U -band Deep Survey over about 20 deg ^2 .

Quasar Lifetime Measurements from Extended Lyα Nebulae at z ∼ 6

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The existence of billion-solar-mass black holes hosted in luminous quasars within the first gigayear of cosmic history poses a challenge to our understanding of supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth.

Changing-look Active Galactic Nuclei from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument. V. Dramatic Variability in High-ionization Broad Emission Lines

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We present a systematic search for changing-look (CL) quasars at high redshift z  > 0.9 by crossmatching the spectroscopic data sets from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Data Release 1 and Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 18. We identify 97
