A cosmic collision in the making: JWST/NIRISS reveals a merging and maturing protocluster core at z~3 around a red quasar
C. Bertemes, D. Wylezalek, G. Noirot +10
We report the discovery of ``The Step'', a dense protocluster at z=3 revealed by JWST/NIRISS Wide-Field Slitless Spectroscopy (WFSS) of the field around the luminous quasar and sta…
First Results from the JWST Early Release Science Program Q3D: AGN Photoionization and Shock Ionization in a Red Quasar at
Swetha Sankar, Nadia L. Zakamska, David S. N. Rupke +12
Red quasars, often associated with powerful [O III] outflows on both galactic and circumgalactic scales, may play a pivotal role in galaxy evolution and black hole feedback. In thi…
Varstrometry for Off-nucleus and Dual Subkiloparsec AGN (VODKA): Three Quadruply Lensed Quasars at Cosmic Noon in HST and JWST
Mingrui Liu, Yu-Ching Chen, Nadia L. Zakamska +7
We present results from imaging observations of three quadruply lensed quasars by Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) at redshifts , 2.975…
Luminous Mid-IR Selected Obscured Quasars at Cosmic Noon in SDSS Stripe82 II: Spectroscopic Diversity and Broad H Emissions
Ben Wang, Yuzo Ishikawa, Joseph F. Hennawi +5
We present a multiwavelength spectroscopic survey of 23 luminous mid-infrared-selected Type-2 quasars at redshifts z = 0.88 to 3.49. The targets were selected in the SDSS Stripe 82…
JWST IFU observations uncover host galaxy continua in extremely red and obscured quasars
Yu-Ching Chen, Nadia L. Zakamska, Andrey Vayner +9
Uncovering bright quasars' host galaxies at cosmic noon is challenging because of the high contrast between the quasar and its host and redshifted light, making them primarily visi…
Luminous Mid-IR Selected Type-2 Quasars at Cosmic Noon in SDSS Stripe82 I: Selection, Composite Photometry, and Spectral Energy Distributions
Ben Wang, Joseph F. Hennawi, Zheng Cai +6
We analyze 23 spectroscopically confirmed Type-2 quasars (QSOs) selected from the WISE 22m band in the SDSS Stripe 82 region, focusing on their multi-band photometry and sp…
