Searching for the Role of Mergers in Fast and Early SMBH Growth: Morphological Decomposition of Quasars and Their Hosts at
Marcus O. Thomas, Ohad Shemmer, Benny Trakhtenbrot +4
We present rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) images of six luminous quasars at obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). These quasars exhibit a wide range of star for…
Improving the selection of changing-look AGNs through multi-wavelength photometric variability
E. López-Navas, P. Sánchez-Sáez, P. Arévalo +13
We present second epoch optical spectra for 30 changing-look (CL) candidates found by searching for Type-1 optical variability in a sample of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) spectros…
The universal power spectrum of Quasars in optical wavelengths: Break timescale scales directly with both black hole mass and accretion rate
P. Arevalo, E. Churazov, P. Lira +5
Aims: Establish the dependence of variability properties, such as characteristic timescales and variability amplitude, on basic quasar parameters such as black hole mass and accret…
Gemini Near Infrared Spectrograph -- Distant Quasar Survey: Augmented Spectroscopic Catalog and a Prescription for Correcting UV-Based Quasar Redshifts
Brandon M. Matthews, Cooper Dix, Ohad Shemmer +13
Quasars at most often have redshifts measured from rest-frame ultraviolet emission lines. One of the most common such lines, C IV , shows blueshifts up to ${…
Shedding New Light on Weak Emission-Line Quasars in the C-H Parameter Space
Trung Ha, Cooper Dix, Brandon M. Matthews +20
Weak emission-line quasars (WLQs) are a subset of Type 1 quasars that exhibit extremely weak LyN V 1240 and/or C IV 1549 emission lines. We investigate the relationship b…
Gemini Near Infrared Spectrograph - Distant Quasar Survey: Prescriptions for Calibrating UV-Based Estimates of Supermassive Black Hole Masses in High-Redshift Quasars
Cooper Dix, Brandon Matthews, Ohad Shemmer +10
The most reliable single-epoch supermassive black hole mass () estimates in quasars are obtained by using the velocity widths of low-ionization emission lines, typicall…
