Damping Wing-Like Features in the Stacked Ly $α$ Forest: Potential Neutral Hydrogen Islands at $z < 6$

Yongda Zhu, George D. Becker, Sarah E. I. Bosman +28

Recent quasar absorption line observations suggest that reionization may end as late as $z \approx 5.3$ . As a means to search for large neutral hydrogen islands at $z < 6$ , we revisi…

Supermassive black holes are growing slowly by $z \sim 5$

Samuel Lai, Christopher A. Onken, Christian Wolf +2

We investigate the black hole mass function at $z \sim 5$ using XQz5, our recent sample of the most luminous quasars between the redshifts $4.5 < z < 5.3$ . We include 72 quasars with…
