Spectroscopic confirmation of dual and offset quasars from the Subaru HSC-SSP program

Shenli Tang, John Silverman, Xavier Prochaska +4

We present a spectroscopic follow-up program targeting closely-separated dual quasar candidates selected from imaging of SDSS quasars with the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strat…

The Host Galaxies of Active Galactic Nuclei with Direct Black Hole Mass Measurements

Vardha N. Bennert, Nico Winkel, Tommaso Treu +13

Reverberation mapping (RM) determines the mass of black holes (BH) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) by resolving the BH gravitational sphere of influence in the time domain. Recent…

Gravitational Torques from a Lopsided Young Stellar Component Sustain High Black Hole Accretion Rates in NGC 4593

Nico Winkel, Knud Jahnke, Juan Antonio Fernández-Ontiveros +8

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) grow primarily through gas accretion, observed as active galactic nuclei (AGNs). While mergers can drive luminous AGN episodes, secular processes m…

SHELLQs-JWST perspective on the intrinsic mass relation between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies at z > 6

John Silverman, Junyao Li, Xuheng Ding +36

The relation between the masses of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their host galaxies encodes information on their mode of growth, especially at the earliest epochs. The Jame…

Performance of the image persistence model for Euclid infrared detectors

B. Kubik, R. Barbier, G. Smadja +99

Large-format infrared detectors are at the heart of major ground and space-based astronomical instruments, and the HgCdTe HxRG is the most widely used. The Near Infrared Spectromet…

SHELLQs-JWST Unveils the Host Galaxies of 12 Quasars at z>6

Xuheng Ding, Masafusa Onoue, John D. Silverman +35

The advent of JWST has opened new horizons in the study of quasar host galaxies during the reionization epoch (z>6). Building upon our previous initial measurements of stellar ligh…
