Quasar Impostors: Two Extremely UV-Bright () Reionisation-Epoch Galaxies Powered by Very Massive Stars

Daming Yang, Joseph F. Hennawi, Sarah E. I. Bosman +20

The extreme bright end of the galaxy UV luminosity function during reionisation remains poorly constrained, particularly where the galaxy and quasar luminosity functions overlap an…

Euclid: Discovery of 31 new quasars at

D. Yang, J. F. Hennawi, F. Guarneri +211

We report the discovery of 31 new high- quasars in the redshift range . These quasars were selected from approximately 3000 deg of sky covered during the firs…

Euclid: A UV-faint quasar in a highly luminous star-forming host galaxy at

S. Belladitta, R. Decarli, E. Bañados +180

Constraining the co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies in the first billion years after the Big Bang is essential for understanding the formation of the…

From the Intergalactic to the Interstellar Scales -- EQUALS: a High-resolution Legacy Survey of Gas in the Distant Universe Using ESPRESSO

Trystyn Berg, Valentina D'Odorico, Elisa Boera +14

Understanding how the Universe evolved from diffuse primordial gas into the rich cosmic web we observe today is one of the great challenges of modern astrophysics. Quasar absorptio…

Crossing the Rubicon of Reionization with z~5 QSOs

A. Grazian, K. Boutsia, E. Giallongo +12

One of the key open questions in Cosmology is the nature of the sources that completed the cosmological hydrogen Reionization at z~5.2. High-z primeval galaxies have been long cons…

The space density of ultra-luminous QSOs at the end of reionization epoch by the QUBRICS Survey and the AGN contribution to the hydrogen ionizing background

A. Grazian, E. Giallongo, K. Boutsia +6

Motivated by evidences favoring a rapid and late hydrogen reionization process completing at z~5.2-5.5 and mainly driven by rare and luminous sources, we have reassessed the estima…

The Luminosity Function of bright QSOs at z~4 and implications for the cosmic ionizing background

K. Boutsia, A. Grazian, F. Fontanot +8

Based on results by recent surveys, the number of bright quasars at redshifts z>3 is being constantly revised upwards. Current consensus is that at bright magnitudes ($M_{1450}\le…

The spectroscopic follow-up of the QUBRICS bright quasar survey

K. Boutsia, A. Grazian, G. Calderone +11

We present the results of the spectroscopic follow up of the QUBRICS survey. The selection method is based on a machine learning approach applied to photometric catalogs, covering…
