Changing-Look AGNs from DESI. VI. Host Galaxies

Shengxiu Sun, Linhua Jiang, Wei-Jian Guo +2

Changing-look (CL) AGNs trace rapid changes in nuclear activity, but their connection to host galaxy properties remains unclear. We present a study of the host galaxies of 105 CL A…

Quiescent Host Galaxies of Extended Quasars Revealed by Spectrophotometric Decomposition

Shengxiu Sun, Linhua Jiang, Zhiwei Pan +27

Previous works of low-redshift quasar host galaxies have focused on compact quasars and found that their host galaxies are mainly star-forming galaxies. Here we present a study of…

Stacked Reverberation Mapping of High Redshift Quasars in DESI. I. Feasibility Analysis

Rahma Alfarsy, R. E. A. Canning, Eva-Maria Mueller +49

The broad line region of quasars has long been probed by reverberation mapping techniques that measure time lags between continuum and broad emission line variations. Stacked rever…

A New Record Census of Dwarf AGN and a Bimodal - Scaling Relation with DESI DR1

Ragadeepika Pucha, S. Juneau, M. Mezcua +48

Using the first spectroscopic data release from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI DR1), we conduct the largest systematic search for active galactic nuclei (AGN) signa…

Morphology of Optical Changing-Look AGN-host Galaxies: Evidence for an Important Role of Mergers

Jie Tian, Yinghe Zhao, Jin-Ming Bai +1

Optical changing-look active galactic nuclei (CL-AGNs) are characterized by the (dis)appearance of broad emission lines on unexpectedly short timescales. However, the underlying me…

Extremely Metal-Poor Galaxies in DESI DR1: Connections to Galaxies in the Early Universe

Jipeng Sui, Hu Zou, Dirk Scholte +43

Extremely Metal-Poor Galaxies (XMPGs), defined as having metallicities below 10\% of the solar value, are considered possible local analogs to primordial systems and offer a unique…

Characterizing the Palomar 5 Stream: HDBSCAN Analysis and Galactic Halo Constraints

Yun-Ao Xiao, Hu Zou, Lu Feng +8

We utilize the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys DR10 to investigate the previously undetected faint extension of the Palomar 5 stellar stream. By applying the HDBSCAN clustering algorit…

Iron-corrected Single-epoch Black Hole Masses of DESI Quasars at low redshift

Zhiwei Pan, Linhua Jiang, Wei-Jian Guo +31

We present a study on the possible overestimation of single-epoch supermassive black hole (SMBH) masses in previous works, based on more than 55,000 type 1 quasars at $0.25 < z < 0…

The first identification of Lyman Changing-look Quasars at high-redshift in DESI

Wei-Jian Guo, Zhiwei Pan, Małgorzata Siudek +38

We present two cases of Ly changing-look (CL) quasars (J1306 and J1512) along with two additional candidates (J1511 and J1602), all discovered serendipitously at through…
