Scattering from Dusty Outflows in Hot Dust-Obscured Galaxies with Blue Excess Emission

R. J. Assef, M. Stalevski, F. E. Bauer +15

(Context) Hot Dust-Obscured Galaxies (Hot DOGs) are a population of hyper-luminous quasars heavily obscured by dust and gas. While most have rest UV/optical SEDs dominated by their…

4MOST ChANGES: Catalog of high-redshift quasar candidates (4.5 < < 7) selected with SED fitting

T. Mkrtchyan, C. Mazzucchelli, R. J. Assef +12

The identification of high-redshift quasars () is critical for studying the early Universe, supermassive black hole growth, and cosmic reionization. Most known high-redshi…

Probing the Physics of Dusty Outflows through Complex Organic Molecules in the Early Universe

Andrey Vayner, Tanio Díaz-Santos, Carl D. Ferkinhoff +22

Galaxy-scale outflows are of critical importance for galaxy formation and evolution. Dust grains are the main sites for the formation of molecules needed for star formation but are…

Hot Diggity Dog: Simultaneous CO and Dust Modeling of the Most Luminous WISE Hot Dust-Obscured Galaxy Unveils Extreme Molecular Gas Excitation

Kevin C. Harrington, Román Fernández Aranda, Leindert Boogaard +7

Hot dust-obscured galaxies (Hot DOGs), the most infrared (IR) luminous objects selected by the WISE all-sky mid-IR survey, have yielded a sample of intrinsically luminous quasars (…

Investigating Little Red Dots with UV Excess: Are They the High-Redshift Siblings of Blue Hot DOGs?

Lulu Bao, Chao-Wei Tsai, Jingwen Wu +7

Little Red Dots (LRDs), newly identified compact and dusty galaxies with an unexpectedly high number density observed by JWST, have an unusual "V-shaped" rest-frame UV to near-infr…

Discovery and characterization of 25 new quasars at 4.6 < z < 6.9 from wide-field multi-band surveys

Silvia Belladitta, Eduardo Bañados, Zhang-Liang Xie +18

Luminous quasars at provide key insights into the early Universe. Their rarity necessitates wide-field multi-band surveys to efficiently separate them from the main astrophys…
