A Massive Gas Outflow Outside the Line-of-Sight: Imaging Polarimetry of the Blue Excess Hot Dust Obscured Galaxy W0204-0506
Roberto J. Assef, Marko Stalevski, Lee Armus +18
(Aims) Hot Dust Obscured Galaxies (Hot DOGs) are a population of hyper-luminous, heavily obscured quasars. Although nuclear obscurations close to Compton-thick are typical, a fract…

Resolving the black hole sphere of influence in a hyper-luminous obscured quasar at redshift 4.6
Mai Liao, Roberto J. Assef, Chao-Wei Tsai +17
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) imprint gravitational signatures on the matter within their sphere of influence (SoI). Nuclear gas dynamics can hence be used to accurately measure…

Overdensity of Lyman-Break Galaxy Candidates Around Hot Dust-Obscured Galaxies
Dejene Zewdie, Roberto J. Assef, Trystan Lambert +15
Hot dust-obscured galaxies (Hot DOGs), are a family of hyper-luminous, heavily obscured quasars. A number of studies have shown that these objects reside in significantly overdense…
