The Total and Polarized Radio Emission from the Innermost Jets of a High-Redshift Quasar and a Candidate at Parsec-Scale Resolution
Bence Husvéth, Krisztina É. Gabányi, Tao An +4
High-frequency very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) polarimetry probes synchrotron-emitting plasma closer to the central engines of radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs), bu…
Origin of the double-peaked narrow emission-lines in the optical spectra of X-shaped Radio Galaxies
Ghosh Prajnadipt, Ravi Joshi, Xiaolong Yang +13
We investigate X-shaped radio galaxies (XRGs) with optical double-peaked narrow emission lines (DPNELs) as potential hosts of dual or binary supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Using…
Synchrotron Self-Absorption Spectral Modeling Reveals a Magnetically Driven Shock-in-Jet Scenario in Blazar 1156+295
Wancheng Xu, Lang Cui, Tao An +6
Unveiling the launching and driving mechanisms of powerful jets in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is crucial for understanding the co-evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) a…
A Delayed Radio Flare Traces Kinetic Energy Injection in the SMBHB Candidate SDSS~J143016.05+230344.4
Tao An, Ailing Wang, Yingkang Zhang +12
SDSS~J143016.05+230344.4 () has been proposed as a candidate pre-coalescence supermassive black hole binary and shows remarkable multiwavelength variability. Its radio e…
Building a Radio AGN Sample from Cosmic Morning -- The Radio High-Redshift Quasar Catalog (RHzQCat): I. Catalog from SDSS Quasars and Radio Surveys at
Yingkang Zhang, Ruqiu Lin, Krisztina Perger +5
Radio-loud high-redshift quasars (RHRQs) provide crucial insights into the evolution of relativistic jets and their connection to the growth of supermassive black holes. Beyond the…
A pilot VLBI study of the SQUAB quasar sample featuring multiple Gaia detections
Yingkang Zhang, Tao An, Xiang Ji +5
Our previous work identified a class of SDSS quasars exhibiting multiple Gaia detections, classifying them as candidates for various astrophysical systems such as quasar-star pairs…
