Distilling Graph Geometry: Knowledge Gap from GNNs to MLPs
Zhewei Chen, Hao Zhu, Jiaojiao Jiang +1
GNN-to-MLP distillation aims to retain the predictive accuracy of a message-passing teacher while deploying a graph-free MLP at inference. Existing methods mainly transfer node-wis…
AGILE: an end-to-end Rubin-LSST simulation of AGNs, galaxies, and stars I. Software description and first data release
A. Viitanen, A. Bongiorno, I. Saccheo +37
Contemporary large-scale surveys such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and Euclid present an unprecedented discovery potential for studying A…
An Extremely-High Velocity Outflow in SMSS J2157-3602, the most luminous quasar in the first 1.3 Gyr
Giustina Vietri, Paola Rodriguez Hidalgo, Amy Rankine +16
We report the discovery of an extremely high-velocity outflow (EHVO) in the most luminous ( 2.29 10 erg/s) QSO, SMSS J2157-3602, at z=4.692. Comb…
The WISSH quasar project. XII. X-ray view of the most luminous quasi-stellar objects at Cosmic Noon
C. Degli Agosti, C. Vignali, E. Piconcelli +25
To improve our knowledge of nuclear emission in luminous QSOs at Cosmic Noon, we studied the X-ray emission of the WISE/SDSS-selected hyper-luminous (WISSH) QSO sample: 85 broad-li…
Selection of optically variable active galactic nuclei via a random forest algorithm
Demetra De Cicco, Gaetano Zazzaro, Stefano Cavuoti +5
Context. A defining characteristic of active galactic nuclei (AGN) that distinguishes them from other astronomical sources is their stochastic variability, which is observable acro…
Molecular gas and dust properties in quasar hosts
Francesco Salvestrini, Chiara Feruglio, Roberta Tripodi +12
Observational campaigns hunting the elusive reservoirs of cold gas in the host galaxies of quasars at the epoch of reionization (EoR) are crucial for studying the formation and evo…
HYPERION: broad-band X-ray-to-near-infrared emission of Quasars in the first billion years of the Universe
I. Saccheo, A. Bongiorno, E. Piconcelli +41
We aim at characterizing the X-ray-to-optical/near-infrared broad-band emission of luminous QSOs in the first Gyr of cosmic evolution to understand whether they exhibit differences…
HYPERION. Shedding light on the first luminous quasars: A correlation between UV disc winds and X-ray continuum
A. Tortosa, L. Zappacosta, E. Piconcelli +41
One of the main open questions in the field of luminous () quasars (QSOs) at is the rapid formation (Gyr) of their superm…
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…
HYPERION. Coevolution of supermassive black holes and galaxies at and the build-up of massive galaxies
R. Tripodi, C. Feruglio, F. Fiore +22
We used low- to high-frequency ALMA observations to investigate the cold gas and dust in ten QSOs at . Our analysis of the CO(6-5) and CO(7-6) emission lines in the sel…
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…
Radio WISSH: tuning on the most luminous quasars in the Universe
Gabriele Bruni, Javier Moldón, Enrico Piconcelli +8
In the past years, the results obtained by the WISSH quasar project provided a novel general picture on the distinctive multi-band properties of hyper-luminous ( e…
HYPerluminous quasars at the Epoch of ReionizatION (HYPERION). A new regime for the X-ray nuclear properties of the first quasars
L. Zappacosta, E. Piconcelli, F. Fiore +40
The existence of luminous quasars (QSO) at the Epoch of Reionization (EoR; i.e. z>6) powered by supermassive black holes (SMBH) with masses challenges models…
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 (…
The WISSH quasars project X. Discovery of a multi-component and highly-variable UV ultra-fast outflow in a z=3.6 quasar
G. Vietri, T. Misawa, E. Piconcelli +16
We report on the variability of a multi-component broad absorption line (BAL) system observed in the hyper-luminous quasar J1538+0855 at z=3.6. Observations from SDSS, VLT, LBT and…
