ASPIRE: The Environments and Dark Matter Halos of Luminous Quasars in the Epoch of Reionization
Feige Wang, Jaclyn B. Champagne, Jiamu Huang +42
We present a systematic study of the environments of 25 luminous quasars at from the ASPIRE program. Using JWST/NIRCam WFSS data, we identified 487 galaxies at $5.3 \less…
A 6.2 Quasar on the Local M- Relation Quenching Its Host Galaxy from the Aether Survey
Weizhe Liu, Emanuele Paolo Farina, Xiaohui Fan +19
We report JWST/NIRSpec integral field unit (IFU) observations of the quasar J15124422 at from the Aether survey. At 900 Myr after the Big Bang, this object al…
Extreme Galaxy-scale Outflows Are Frequent among Luminous Early Quasars
Weizhe Liu, Xiaohui Fan, Huan Li +23
The existence of abundant post-starburst/quiescent galaxies just 1-2 Gyrs after the Big Bang challenges our current paradigm of galaxy evolution. Cosmological simulations sug…
Shedding the envelope: JWST reveals a kiloparsec-scale [OIII]-weak Balmer shell around a z=7.64 quasar
Julien Wolf, Eduardo Bañados, Xiaohui Fan +25
Luminous quasars at the redshift frontier z>7 serve as stringent probes of super-massive black hole formation and they are thought to undergo much of their growth obscured by dense…
QSO MUSEUM III: the circumgalactic medium in Ly emission around 120 quasars covering the SDSS parameter space. Witnessing the instantaneous AGN feedback on halo scales
Jay González Lobos, Fabrizio Arrigoni Battaia, Aura Obreja +3
Recent surveys show that quasars are surrounded by Hydrogen Lyman- (Ly) glows with diverse emission levels and extents. These seem to depend on the activity of embedd…
