Fooled by mass? Recovering the relation of quasars from their X-ray variability
Matilde Signorini, Andrea Sacchi, Bartolomeo Trefoloni +7
We measure the relation between the X-ray photon index and the Eddington ratio in unobscured type-1 quasars, using as parent sample the cross-match of the SDSS DR16Q…
The accretion of quasars at the epoch of reionisation: catches the primeval monsters slowly feasting
B. Trefoloni, E. Nardini, S. Carniani +8
Quasars (QSOs) emit an enormous amount of light as a result of the accretion of gas onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Thanks to their luminosity, the most distant known QSOs a…
Quasars as standard candles VI: spectroscopic validation of the cosmological sample
Bartolomeo Trefoloni, Elisabeta Lusso, Emanuele Nardini +5
A sample of quasars has been recently assembled to investigate the non-linear relation between their monochromatic luminosities at 2500Å, and 2 keV and to exploit quasars as a new…
The most luminous blue quasars at 3.0<z<3.3 -- III. LBT spectra and accretion parameters
Bartolomeo Trefoloni, Elisabeta Lusso, Emanuele Nardini +13
We present the analysis of the rest frame ultraviolet and optical spectra of 30 bright blue quasars at , selected to examine the suitability of AGN as cosmological probes.…
The most luminous blue quasars at 3.0<z<3.3. II. CIV/X-ray emission and accretion disc physics
Elisabeta Lusso, Emanuele Nardini, Susanna Bisogni +12
We analyse the properties of the CIV broad emission line in connection with the X-ray emission of 30 bright SDSS quasars at z~3.0-3.3 with pointed XMM-Newton observations, which we…
