Constraining the density distribution of the cold Circumgalactic Medium of quasars at z>2 through Lya, HeII and Ha emission

Andrea Travascio, Sebastiano Cantalupo, Titouan Lazeyras +16

Extended Lya emission is routinely detected around high-redshift quasars, revealing large reservoirs of cool circumgalactic medium (CGM). Its resonant nature complicates interpreta…

Resolving the physics of Quasar Ly Nebulae (RePhyNe): II. The dense and clumpy CGM of Quasars at 3.5

Titouan Lazeyras, Sebastiano Cantalupo, Andrea Travascio +10

The small scale density distribution of the cold circumgalactic medium (CGM) plays a central role in galaxy evolution, yet it is still poorly understood. We provide new constraints…

The galaxy-halo connection and the dynamical evolution of a giant disc in a massive node of the Cosmic Web at z~3

G. Quadri, S. Cantalupo, C. Bacchini +9

Recent JWST observations revealed the surprising presence of a giant and massive disc galaxy in a Cosmic Web node at z. This galaxy, named the Big Wheel, has a size almost t…

The hydrodynamical response of cold circumgalactic clouds to quasar radiation

Nicolas Ledos, Sebastiano Cantalupo, Titouan Lazeyras +8

Recent simulations increasingly resolve the small-scale structure of the circumgalactic medium (CGM), but the dynamical impact of ionising radiation on its cold K component…

Resolving circumgalactic gas flows around a z3.6 quasar using MUSE and ALMA

M. Galbiati, A. Pensabene, S. Cantalupo +10

The formation and evolution of galaxies is regulated by the exchange of gas with the surrounding large-scale structures on circum- and intergalactic scales. Yet, little is known ab…

A quiescent galaxy in a gas-rich cosmic web node at z~3

Weichen Wang, Sebastiano Cantalupo, Marta Galbiati +11

Recent JWST observations have unveiled a large number of quiescent galaxies at , bringing potential challenges to current galaxy formation models. Since star formation i…

Metal enrichment of galaxies in a massive node of the Cosmic Web at

Xiaohan Wang, S. Cantalupo, Weichen Wang +8

We present the mass-metallicity relation for star-forming galaxies in the MUSE Quasar Nebula 01 (MQN01) field, a massive cosmic web node at , hosting one of the large…

X-ray view of a massive node of the Cosmic Web at z=3 II. Discovery of extended X-ray emission around a hyperluminous QSO

Andrea Travascio, Sebastiano Cantalupo, Gabriele Pezzulli +17

While the warm, ionized gas in the CGM at z>3 is now routinely observed around bright QSOs in Lya emission, little is known about the CGM hot phase due to its expected faintness in…

ALMA survey of a massive node of the Cosmic Web at . II. A dynamically cold and massive disk galaxy in the proximity of a hyperluminous quasar

A. Pensabene, S. Cantalupo, W. Wang +11

Advancing our understanding of the formation and evolution of early massive galaxies and black holes requires detailed studies of dense structures in the high-redshift Universe. In…

Super-Eddington accretion in high-redshift quasar hosts: Black-hole driven outflows, galaxy quenching, and the nature of little red dots

Giada Quadri, Alessandro Trinca, Alessandro Lupi +2

The advent of the James Webb Space Telescope has revolutionised our understanding of the high-redshift Universe through its detection of bright, massive galaxies up to $z\gtrsim 10…

The MUSE Ultra Deep Field (MUDF) VII. Probing high-redshift gas structures in the surroundings of ALMA-identified massive dusty galaxies

A. Pensabene, M. Galbiati, M. Fumagalli +12

We present new ALMA continuum and spectral observations of the MUSE Ultra Deep Field (MUDF), a arcmin region with ultradeep multiwavelength imaging and spectroscopy…

X-ray view of a massive node of the Cosmic Web at z~3 I. An exceptional overdensity of rapidly accreting SMBHs

A. Travascio, S. Cantalupo, P. Tozzi +16

Exploring SMBH population in protoclusters offers valuable insights into how environment affects SMBH growth. However, research on AGN within these areas is still limited by the sm…

Connecting the growth of galaxies to the large-scale environment in a massive node of the Cosmic Web at z~3

M. Galbiati, S. Cantalupo, C. Steidel +10

A direct link between large-scale environment and galaxy properties is very well established in the local universe. However, very little is known about the role of the environment…

A Giant Disk Galaxy Two Billion Years After The Big Bang

Weichen Wang, Sebastiano Cantalupo, Antonio Pensabene +14

Observational studies showed that galaxy disks are already in place in the first few billion years of the universe. The early disks detected so far, with typical half-light radii o…

Sustained super-Eddington accretion in high-redshift quasars

Alessandro Lupi, Giada Quadri, Marta Volonteri +2

Observations of quasars provide information on the early evolution of the most massive black holes (MBHs) and galaxies. Current observations, able to trace both gas a…
