Testing the paradigm: First spectroscopic evidence of a quasar-galaxy Mpc-scale association at cosmic dawn
Roberto Decarli, Marco Mignoli, Roberto Gilli +9
State-of-the-art models of massive black hole formation postulate that quasars at reside in extreme peaks of the cosmic density structure in the early universe. Even so, dire…
Discovery of a galaxy overdensity around a powerful, heavily obscured FRII radio galaxy at z=1.7: star formation promoted by large-scale AGN feedback?
R. Gilli, M. Mignoli, A. Peca +25
We report the discovery of a galaxy overdensity around a Compton-thick Fanaroff-Riley type II (FRII) radio galaxy at z=1.7 in the deep multiband survey around the z=6.3 QSO SDSS J1…
The X-ray properties of quasars: no evident evolution of accretion physics in the first Gyr of the Universe
Fabio Vito, William Nielsen Brandt, Franz Erik Bauer +10
X-ray emission from QSOs has been used to assess SMBH accretion properties up to ~6. However, at only ~15 QSOs are covered by sensitive X-ray observations, preventing a st…
Discovery of the first heavily obscured QSO candidate at in a close galaxy pair
Fabio Vito, William Nielsen Brandt, Franz Erik Bauer +14
While theoretical arguments predict that most of the early growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) happened during heavily obscured phases of accretion, current methods used for…
