Confirming Near- to Mid-IR Photometrically-Identified Obscured AGNs in the JWST era
George H. Rieke, Yang Sun, Jianwei Lyu +6
We evaluate the underlying assumptions for the identification of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) through near- and mid-infrared photometry and spectral energy distribution (SED) fitt…
Quasar Radiative Feedback May Suppress Galaxy Growth on Intergalactic Scales at
Yongda Zhu, Eiichi Egami, Xiaohui Fan +27
We present observational evidence that intense ionizing radiation from a luminous quasar suppresses nebular emission in nearby galaxies on intergalactic scales at . Using JW…
The quasar ULAS J1120+0641 May Never Reach a "Normal" Black Hole to Stellar Mass Ratio
Meredith A. Stone, George H. Rieke, Jianwei Lyu +4
JWST observations of quasars in the Epoch of Reionization have revealed that many lie in host galaxies that are severely undermassive relative to the supermassive black holes. It i…
SMILES Data Release II: Probing Galaxy Evolution during Cosmic Noon and Beyond with NIRSpec Medium-Resolution Spectra
Yongda Zhu, Nina Bonaventura, Yang Sun +12
We present the second data release of the Systematic Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) Legacy Extragalactic Survey (SMILES), focusing on JWST/NIRSpec medium-resolution spectroscopy of…
