The deepest X-ray view of a kiloparsec scale jet at z=6.1
Fabio A. Meanti, Luca Ighina, Alberto Moretti +7
The mechanism responsible for the high-energy emission observed in kiloparsec-scale jets across cosmic time remains poorly understood. The relativistic jet associated with the z=6.…
Deep X-ray View of a Distant Protocluster Anchored by a Quasar at : No Evidence for Enhanced X-ray AGN Activity
Shouyi Wang, Feige Wang, Jinyi Yang +22
Whether dense environments accelerate SMBH growth during cosmic reionization remains uncertain because X-ray constraints on protoclusters are rare. We analyze ks of…

We present radio and X-ray observations of the recently discovered radio-powerful quasar RACS J032021.44352104.1 using uGMRT, ATCA, LBA, and Chandra. The observed radio…
Extreme Galaxy-scale Outflows Are Frequent among Luminous Early Quasars
Weizhe Liu, Xiaohui Fan, Huan Li +23
The existence of abundant post-starburst/quiescent galaxies just 1-2 Gyrs after the Big Bang challenges our current paradigm of galaxy evolution. Cosmological simulations sug…
High- radio Quasars in RACS I: Selection, identification, and multi-wavelength properties
