Anisotropic quenching beyond and its implications for preprocessing around high-redshift galaxy clusters

Makoto Ando, Kazuhiro Shimasaku, Kei Ito +2

Recent studies have shown that, within galaxy clusters, quenched satellite galaxies tend to be distributed preferentially along the major axis of the central galaxy, dubbed anisotr…

Merger-driven buildup of the - relation bridging high- overmassive black holes with the local relation

Takumi S. Tanaka, John D. Silverman, Kazuhiro Shimasaku +3

The origin of the mass scaling relation between supermassive black holes (SMBHs, ) and galaxies () remains a key open question. Rather than invoking AGN feedback,…

Hidden in Pixels I: Discovery of dual "little red dots" indicates excess clustering on kilo-parsec scales

Takumi S. Tanaka, John D. Silverman, Kazuhiro Shimasaku +56

``Little Red Dots'' (LRDs) are an abundant high-redshift population newly discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and considered to be an early growth phase of supermas…

Subaru High-z Exploration of Low-Luminosity Quasars (SHELLQs) XXII. Chandra observations of narrow-line quasar candidates at z>6

K. Iwasawa, R. Gilli, F. Vito +13

We report on Chandra X-ray observations of four narrow-line quasar candidates at z~6, selected from the SHELLQs project, based on the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam survey. These objects…

SHELLQs-JWST perspective on the intrinsic mass relation between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies at z > 6

John Silverman, Junyao Li, Xuheng Ding +36

The relation between the masses of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their host galaxies encodes information on their mode of growth, especially at the earliest epochs. The Jame…

SHELLQs-JWST Unveils the Host Galaxies of 12 Quasars at z>6

Xuheng Ding, Masafusa Onoue, John D. Silverman +35

The advent of JWST has opened new horizons in the study of quasar host galaxies during the reionization epoch (z>6). Building upon our previous initial measurements of stellar ligh…
