An Exploratory Analysis of New Large Gaia-informed Quasar Samples in SDSS-V

Shir Aviram, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Tom Dwelly +22

Quasars are luminous objects that provide insights into the physics and evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their accretion flows, galaxy evolution, and even cosmolog…

CIV wind properties of the SDSS-V X-ray selected quasars: strong optical-to-UV emission is key regardless of X-ray strength

Amy L. Rankine, David Homan, James Aird +25

We present an investigation of the rest-frame optical/UV and X-ray properties for a sample of 3027 X-ray selected quasars between detected in the deepest Spec…

Discovery of the First Five Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor Stars in the LMC

Madeline Lucey, Vedant Chandra, Alexander Ji +7

A substantial fraction of metal-poor stars in the local Milky Way halo exhibit large overabundances of carbon. These stars, dubbed Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor (CEMP) stars, provide…

The SDSS-V Black Hole Mapper Reverberation Mapping Project: Light Echoes of the Coronal Line Region in a Luminous Quasar

Theodore B. Smith, Logan B. Fries, Jonathan R. Trump +19

We present a reverberation mapping analysis of the coronal line [Ne V]3427 emitting region of the quasar COS168 (SDSS J095910.30+020732.2). [Ne V]3427 is known as one of the…

The large-scale kinematics of young stars in the Milky Way disc: first results from SDSS-V

Eleonora Zari, Jaime Villaseñor, Marina Kounkel +17

We present a first large-scale kinematic map of 50,000 young OB stars ( K), based on BOSS spectroscopy from the Milky Way Mapper OB program in the on…

X-ray selected broad absorption line quasars in SDSS-V: BALs and non-BALs span the same range of X-ray properties

Pranavi Hiremath, Amy L. Rankine, James Aird +10

Broad absorption line (BAL) quasars are often considered X-ray weak relative to their optical/UV luminosity, whether intrinsically (i.e., the coronal emission is fainter) or due to…

Mapping the Distant and Metal-Poor Milky Way with SDSS-V

Vedant Chandra, Phillip A. Cargile, Alexander P. Ji +28

The fifth-generation Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-V) is conducting the first all-sky low-resolution spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way's stellar halo. We describe the stellar…

Optical Emission-Line Properties of eROSITA-selected SDSS-V Galaxies

Nadiia G. Pulatova, Evgenii Rubtsov, Igor V. Chilingarian +21

We present and discuss optical emission line properties obtained from the analysis of Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectra for an X-ray selected sample of 3684 galaxies (0.002 <…

The Nineteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

SDSS Collaboration, Gautham Adamane Pallathadka, Mojgan Aghakhanloo +210

Mapping the local and distant Universe is key to our understanding of it. For decades, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has made a concerted effort to map millions of celestial…

Exploring Changing-look Active Galactic Nuclei with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V: First Year Results

Grisha Zeltyn, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Michael Eracleous +32

"Changing-look" active galactic nuclei (CL-AGNs) challenge our basic ideas about the physics of accretion flows and circumnuclear gas around supermassive black holes. Using first-y…
