Estimating the completeness of the QUBRICS Survey with 3501 QSO redshifts from Gaia DR3 spectra
Matteo Porru, Stefano Cristiani, Francesco Guarneri +9
QSOs are essential for investigating the structure and evolution of the Universe. Historically, their identification has been concentrated in the northern hemisphere, primarily due…
The ESPRESSO Redshift Drift Experiment III -- The Third Epoch of QSO J052915.80-435152.0
Andrea Trost, Catarina M. J. Marques, S. Cristiani +25
The Sandage-Loeb test probes cosmic expansion directly by measuring the redshift drift in quasar absorption features in a model-independent way. In this series of papers, we have l…
The ESPRESSO Redshift Drift Experiment I -- High-resolution spectra of the Lyman- forest of QSO J052915.80-435152.0
Andrea Trost, Catarina M. J. Marques, Stefano Cristiani +25
The measurement of the temporal evolution in the redshift of distant objects, the redshift drift, is a probe of universal expansion and cosmology. We perform the first steps toward…
CUBES, the Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph: towards final design review
Matteo Genoni, Hans Dekker, Stefano Covino +39
In the era of Extremely Large Telescopes, the current generation of 8-10m facilities are likely to remain competitive at ground-UV wavelengths for the foreseeable future. The Casse…
What are the Pillars of Reionization? Revising the AGN Luminosity Function at z~5
Andrea Grazian, Emanuele Giallongo, Konstantina Boutsia +22
In the past, high-z AGNs were given a minor role as possible drivers of reionization, despite initial evidences in favor of their large space densities at low luminosities by Chand…
End-to-End simulation framework for astronomical spectrographs: SOXS, CUBES and ANDES
A. Scaudo, M. Genoni, G. Li Causi +73
We present our numerical simulation approach for the End-to-End (E2E) model applied to various astronomical spectrographs, such as SOXS (ESO-NTT), CUBES (ESO-VLT), and ANDES (ESO-E…
ANDES, the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT: science goals, project overview and future developments
A. Marconi, M. Abreu, V. Adibekyan +286
The first generation of ELT instruments includes an optical-infrared high-resolution spectrograph, indicated as ELT-HIRES and recently christened ANDES (ArmazoNes high Dispersion E…
Progress on FORS-Up: the first instrument using ELT technologies
H. M. J. Boffin, V. Baldini, S. Bertocco +21
ESO is in the process of upgrading one of the two FORS (FOcal Reducer/low dispersion Spectrograph) instruments - a multi-mode (imaging, polarimetry, long-slit, and multi-object spe…
Boost recall in QSO selection from highly imbalanced photometric datasets
Giorgio Calderone, Francesco Guarneri, Matteo Porru +9
Context. The identification of bright QSOs is of great importance to probe the intergalactic medium and address open questions in cosmology. Several approaches have been adopted to…
Crossing the Rubicon of Reionization with z~5 QSOs
A. Grazian, K. Boutsia, E. Giallongo +12
One of the key open questions in Cosmology is the nature of the sources that completed the cosmological hydrogen Reionization at z~5.2. High-z primeval galaxies have been long cons…
Spectroscopy of QUBRICS quasar candidates: 1672 new redshifts and a Golden Sample for the Sandage Test of the Redshift Drift
Stefano Cristiani, Matteo Porru, Francesco Guarneri +10
The QUBRICS (QUasars as BRIght beacons for Cosmology in the Southern hemisphere) survey aims at constructing a sample of the brightest quasars with z>~2.5, observable with faciliti…
The probabilistic random forest applied to the QUBRICS survey: improving the selection of high-redshift quasars with synthetic data
Francesco Guarneri, Giorgio Calderone, Stefano Cristiani +10
Several recent works have focused on the search for bright, high-z quasars (QSOs) in the South. Among them, the QUasars as BRIght beacons for Cosmology in the Southern hemisphere (…
