A large population of over-massive black hole quasars at z=0.3-0.8 revealed by eROSITA

Johannes Buchner, Isabelle Gauger, Qiaoya Wu +14

In most galaxies, the central black hole accounts for no more than a percent of the total mass in stars. Recently, however, extremely over-massive black holes with ratios of 10% ha…

Questing a Coherent Definition of Weak-line Quasars and its Physical Implications

Xiaoqiang Cheng, Jianfeng Wu, Qiaoya Wu

Weak-line quasars (WLQs) are a subset of type 1 quasars with remarkably weak high-ionization broad emission lines but normal optical/UV continua. Using 371,091 quasars from SDSS DR…

The eROSITA Final Equatorial Depth Survey (eFEDS): Complex absorption and soft excesses in hard X-ray--selected active galactic nuclei

Sophia G. H. Waddell, Kirpal Nandra, Johannes Buchner +14

Context. The soft excess, a surplus of X-ray photons above 2 keV with respect to a power law, is a feature of debated physical origin found in the X-ray spectra of many type-1 acti…
