Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1): Euclid spectroscopy of quasars. 1. Identification and redshift determination of 3500 bright quasars

Euclid Collaboration, Y. Fu, R. Bouwens +354

The slitless spectroscopy mode of the NISP onboard Euclid has enabled efficient spectroscopy of objects within a large FoV. We present a large and homogeneous sample of bright quas…

Euclid: The first statistical census of dusty and massive objects in the ERO/Perseus field

G. Girardi, A. Grazian, G. Rodighiero +175

Our comprehension of the history of star formation at relies on rest-frame UV observations, yet this selection misses the most dusty and massive sources, yielding an incomple…

Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1): Hunting for luminous z > 6 galaxies in the Euclid Deep Fields -- forecasts and first bright detections

Euclid Collaboration, N. Allen, P. A. Oesch +309

The evolution of the rest-frame ultraviolet luminosity function (UV LF) is a powerful probe of early star formation and stellar mass build-up. At z > 6, its bright end (MUV < -21)…

A close look at the black hole masses and hot dusty toruses of the first quasars with MIRI-MRS

Sarah E. I. Bosman, Javier Álvarez-Márquez, Frederick B. Davies +29

The presence of supermassive black holes (SMBHs, ) at remains a puzzle. While their existence appears to require exotic formation or growth proce…

BlazEr1: The eROSITA Blazar Catalog. Blazars and Blazar Candidates in the First eROSITA Survey

S. Haemmerich, A. Gokus, F. McBride +28

Aims. eROSITA, on board the Spectrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG) spacecraft, performed its first X-ray all-sky survey (eRASS1) between December 2019 and June 2020. It detected about 93000…

X-ray investigation of possible super-Eddington accretion in a radio-loud quasar at

L. Ighina, A. Caccianiga, T. Connor +19

We present radio and X-ray observations of the recently discovered radio-powerful quasar RACS J032021.44352104.1 using uGMRT, ATCA, LBA, and Chandra. The observed radio…

Extreme Galaxy-scale Outflows Are Frequent among Luminous Early Quasars

Weizhe Liu, Xiaohui Fan, Huan Li +23

The existence of abundant post-starburst/quiescent galaxies just 1-2 Gyrs after the Big Bang challenges our current paradigm of galaxy evolution. Cosmological simulations sug…

Euclid: The potential of slitless infrared spectroscopy: A z=5.4 quasar and new ultracool dwarfs

E. Bañados, V. Le Brun, S. Belladitta +226

We demonstrate the potential of Euclid's slitless spectroscopy to discover high-redshift (z>5) quasars and their main photometric contaminant, ultracool dwarfs. Sensitive infrared…

Discovery and characterization of 25 new quasars at 4.6 < z < 6.9 from wide-field multi-band surveys

Silvia Belladitta, Eduardo Bañados, Zhang-Liang Xie +18

Luminous quasars at provide key insights into the early Universe. Their rarity necessitates wide-field multi-band surveys to efficiently separate them from the main astrophys…

Lyman-Break Galaxies in the Mpc-Scale Environments Around Three Quasars With JWST Imaging

Maria Pudoka, Feige Wang, Xiaohui Fan +16

We study the Mpc-scale environments of the three highest redshift luminous quasars at (J031343.84-180636.40, J134208.11+092838.61, and J100758.27+211529.21) to understa…

Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1). Extending the quest for little red dots to z<4

Euclid Collaboration, L. Bisigello, G. Rodighiero +348

Recent James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations have revealed a population of sources with a compact morphology and a characteristic `v-shaped' continuum, namely blue at rest…

Intervening nuclear obscuration changing the X-ray look of the QSO CFHQS J164121+375520

Fabio Vito, William Nielsen Brandt, Andrea Comastri +16

X-ray observations of the optically selected QSO CFHQS J164121+375520 (hereafter J1641) revealed that its flux dropped by a factor from 2018, when it was a bri…

NuSTAR observations of a varying-flux quasar in the Epoch of Reionization

Lea Marcotulli, Thomas Connor, Eduardo Bañados +13

With enough X-ray flux to be detected in a 160s scan by SRG/eROSITA, the quasar CFHQS J142952+544717 is, by far, the most luminous X-ray source known at . We pres…
