JWST COSMOS-3D: Spectroscopic Census and Luminosity Function of [O III] Emitters at 6.75<z<9.05 in COSMOS

Romain A. Meyer, Feige Wang, Koki Kakiichi +38

We present a catalogue of spectroscopically selected [OIII]+Hb emitters at 6.75<z<9.05 and the resulting [OIII] 5008 ÅLuminosity Function (LF) in the COSMOS field. We leverage the…

An extremely metal-poor Lyman emitter candidate at revealed through absorption spectroscopy

Dominika Ďurovčíková, Anna-Christina Eilers, Robert A. Simcoe +10

We report the discovery of a Lyman emitter (LAE) candidate in the immediate foreground of the quasar PSO J158-14 at at a projected distance $\sim29\ {\rm p…

XQR-30: Black Hole Masses and Accretion Rates of 42 z>6 Quasars

C. Mazzucchelli, M. Bischetti, V. D'Odorico +19

We present bolometric luminosities, black hole masses and Eddington ratios for 42 luminous quasars at z>6 using high signal-to-noise ratio VLT/X-Shooter spectra, acquired in the en…

XQR-30: the ultimate XSHOOTER quasar sample at the reionization epoch

Valentina D'Odorico, E. Banados, G. D. Becker +46

The final phase of the reionization process can be probed by rest-frame UV absorption spectra of quasars at z>6, shedding light on the properties of the diffuse intergalactic mediu…

New quasar proximity zone size measurements at using the enlarged XQR-30 sample

Sindhu Satyavolu, Anna-Christina Eilers, Girish Kulkarni +15

Proximity zones of high-redshift quasars are unique probes of their central supermassive black holes as well as the intergalactic medium in the last stages of reionization. We pres…

The need for obscured supermassive black hole growth to explain quasar proximity zones in the epoch of reionization

Sindhu Satyavolu, Girish Kulkarni, Laura C. Keating +1

Proximity zones of high-redshift quasars are unique probes of supermassive black hole formation, but simultaneously explaining proximity zone sizes and black hole masses has proved…
