Deep X-ray View of a Distant Protocluster Anchored by a Quasar at : No Evidence for Enhanced X-ray AGN Activity

Shouyi Wang, Feige Wang, Jinyi Yang +22

Whether dense environments accelerate SMBH growth during cosmic reionization remains uncertain because X-ray constraints on protoclusters are rare. We analyze ks of…

NEXUS: Transient Searches and First Results from Year One Observations

Ming-Yang Zhuang, Lei Hu, Justin D. R. Pierel +10

We describe ongoing efforts of high-redshift transient searches using multi-epoch NIRCam imaging (F200W+F444W) and NIRSpec MSA/PRISM spectroscopy from the NEXUS JWST multi-cycle Tr…

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…

Probing Direct Contributions of Galaxies and AGN to Cosmic Reionization in a Quasar Field J0226+0302 with JWST NIRCam and NIRSpec

Xiangyu Jin, Jinyi Yang, Feige Wang +19

We present JWST Cycle 2 NIRCam and NIRSpec observations in a quasar field J0226+0302 at z=6.5412 to probe the direct connections between the intergalactic medium (IGM), galaxies, a…

A Close Quasar Pair in a Massive Galaxy Merger at

Minghao Yue, Xiaohui Fan, Anna-Christina Eilers +3

Close quasar pairs are rare products of galaxy mergers in which both supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are actively accreting, offering strong constraints on merger-driven active ga…

Three Hundred Quasars from the Couch: A first look at high-redshift quasar discovery with SPHEREx

Frederick B. Davies, Sarah E. I. Bosman, Arpita Ganguly +9

Photometric selection of luminous high-redshift () quasars is plagued by contamination from numerous low-mass Galactic stars, reddened lower-redshift quasars, as well as…
