Black Hole-Host Galaxy Correlations with Machine Learning: A Comparative Study of Illustris, TNG, and EAGLE

Jacob Reinheimer, Yuan Li, Trung Ha +3

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are known to correlate with many properties of their host galaxies, but we do not fully understand these correlations. The strengths (tightness) of…

Gemini Near Infrared Spectrograph -- Distant Quasar Survey: Augmented Spectroscopic Catalog and a Prescription for Correcting UV-Based Quasar Redshifts

Brandon M. Matthews, Cooper Dix, Ohad Shemmer +13

Quasars at most often have redshifts measured from rest-frame ultraviolet emission lines. One of the most common such lines, C IV , shows blueshifts up to ${…

Shedding New Light on Weak Emission-Line Quasars in the C-H Parameter Space

Trung Ha, Cooper Dix, Brandon M. Matthews +20

Weak emission-line quasars (WLQs) are a subset of Type 1 quasars that exhibit extremely weak LyN V 1240 and/or C IV 1549 emission lines. We investigate the relationship b…

Gemini Near Infrared Spectrograph - Distant Quasar Survey: Prescriptions for Calibrating UV-Based Estimates of Supermassive Black Hole Masses in High-Redshift Quasars

Cooper Dix, Brandon Matthews, Ohad Shemmer +10

The most reliable single-epoch supermassive black hole mass () estimates in quasars are obtained by using the velocity widths of low-ionization emission lines, typicall…

Systematically smaller single-epoch quasar black hole masses using a radius-luminosity relationship corrected for spectral bias

Jaya Maithil, Michael S. Brotherton, Ohad Shemmer +6

Determining black hole masses and accretion rates with better accuracy and precision is crucial for understanding quasars as a population. These are fundamental physical properties…
