Discovery of four Narrow-line Type-1 Quasars at z = 2.54 -- 6.06 with Subaru 'Onohi'ula PFS-SSP

Ayumi Takahashi, Yoshiki Matsuoka, Yoshiki Toba +21

We report the discovery of four narrow-line type-1 quasars (NLQ1s) from the Subaru 'Onohi'ula Prime Focus Spectrograph Subaru Strategic Program (PFS-SSP). To extend a comprehensive…

Subaru High- Exploration of Low-Luminosity Quasars (SHELLQs). XXV. Large-scale environments of low-luminosity quasars at traced by Ly emitters

Junya Arita, Nobunari Kashikawa, Yoshiki Matsuoka +18

High- quasars are believed to reside in massive dark matter haloes (DMHs), suggesting that they reside in galaxy overdense regions. However, previous observations have shown a r…

SHELLQs. Bridging the Gap: JWST Unveils Obscured Quasars in the Most Luminous Galaxies at z > 6

Yoshiki Matsuoka, Masafusa Onoue, Kazushi Iwasawa +17

The unprecedented sensitivity of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has uncovered a surprisingly abundant population of mildly obscured, low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (A…

SHELLQs-JWST perspective on the intrinsic mass relation between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies at z > 6

John Silverman, Junyao Li, Xuheng Ding +36

The relation between the masses of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their host galaxies encodes information on their mode of growth, especially at the earliest epochs. The Jame…

HST Confirms Sub-5 kpc Dual Quasar Pairs at Cosmic Noon

Qian Wang, Xuheng Ding, John Silverman +12

During cosmic noon (), when both star formation and black hole growth peaked, galaxy mergers are predicted to trigger dual active galactic nuclei (AGN) that eventually co…
