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…
Diverse Origins of Broad H Lines in Heavily Obscured AGNs Revealed by Multi-epoch Spectroscopy
Shoichiro Mizukoshi, Takeo Minezaki, Subaru Ubukata +8
According to the classical AGN model, broad emission lines originate from the broad-line region (BLR) and are observable only when the attenuation by the dusty torus is small. Howe…
Near-infrared Variability Detected in the Young Star-Forming Dwarf Galaxy SBS 0335-052E
Shun Hatano, Mitsuru Kokubo, Masami Ouchi +17
SBS~0335-052E is a young star-forming dwarf galaxy with a total stellar mass of and an extremely low metallicity (), which…
Challenging the AGN scenario for JWST/NIRSpec LRD and non-LRD broad H emitters in light of non-detection of NIRCam photometric variability and X-ray
Mitsuru Kokubo, Yuichi Harikane
JWST has uncovered a substantial population of high- () galaxies exhibiting broad H emission line with a Full Width at Half Maximum exceeding 1,000 km/s. This p…
Multiband Optical Photometric and Spectroscopic Monitoring of the 2024 Flare Event in Transition Blazar OP313
TianFang Zhang, Mitsuru Kokubo, Mamoru Doi +19
Blazars are active galactic nuclei known for their extreme variability, offering unique opportunities to study jet physics and high-energy emission mechanisms. In 2024, the Flat Sp…
Second-timescale Glints from Satellites and Space Debris Detected with Tomo-e Gozen
Masaomi Tanaka, Ichiro Takahashi, Naoki Yoshida +17
A search for second-timescale optical transients is one of the frontiers of time-domain astronomy. However, it has been pointed out that reflections of sunlight from Earth-orbiting…
