CIV wind properties of the SDSS-V X-ray selected quasars: strong optical-to-UV emission is key regardless of X-ray strength

Amy L. Rankine, David Homan, James Aird +25

We present an investigation of the rest-frame optical/UV and X-ray properties for a sample of 3027 X-ray selected quasars between detected in the deepest Spec…

Rest-Frame Optical Spectroscopy of Ten z 2 Weak Emission-Line Quasars

Ying Chen, Bin Luo, W. N. Brandt +7

We present near-infrared spectroscopy of ten weak emission-line quasars (WLQs) at redshifts of , obtained with the Palomar 200-inch Hale Telescope. WLQs are an exceptional…

Understanding the Broad-line Region of Active Galactic Nuclei with Photoionization. I. the Moderate-Accretion Regime

Qiaoya Wu, Yue Shen, Hengxiao Guo +9

Over three decades of reverberation mapping (RM) studies on local broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have measured reliable black-hole (BH) masses for AGNs. These RM…

X-raying the Winds of Luminous Active Galaxies

W. N. Brandt, G. Chartas, S. C. Gallagher +2

We briefly describe some recent observational results, mainly at X-ray wavelengths, on the winds of luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs). These winds likely play a significant ro…
