Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of Low-Redshift Palomar-Green Quasars and Composite Spectra
Amy Cavanaugh, Michael Brotherton, Jacob McLane +1
The Palomar-Green (PG) Quasars have been used extensively to establish the spectral properties of luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at low redshifts in many wavebands, but not…
The Discovery of Little Red Dots in the Local Universe: Signatures of Cool Gas Envelopes
Xiaojing Lin, Xiaohui Fan, Zheng Cai +25
JWST observations have revealed a population of high-redshift "little red dots" (LRDs) that challenge conventional AGN models. We report the discovery of three local LRDs at $z = 0…
Gemini Near Infrared Spectrograph -- Distant Quasar Survey: Rest-Frame Ultraviolet-Optical Spectral Properties of Broad Absorption Line Quasars
Harum Ahmed, Ohad Shemmer, Brandon Matthews +12
We present the rest-frame ultraviolet-optical spectral properties of 65 broad absorption line (BAL) quasars from the Gemini Near Infrared Spectrograph-Distant Quasar Survey (GNIRS-…
Gemini Near Infrared Spectrograph -- Distant Quasar Survey: Augmented Spectroscopic Catalog and a Prescription for Correcting UV-Based Quasar Redshifts
Brandon M. Matthews, Cooper Dix, Ohad Shemmer +13
Quasars at most often have redshifts measured from rest-frame ultraviolet emission lines. One of the most common such lines, C IV , shows blueshifts up to ${…
Gemini Near Infrared Spectrograph - Distant Quasar Survey: Prescriptions for Calibrating UV-Based Estimates of Supermassive Black Hole Masses in High-Redshift Quasars
Cooper Dix, Brandon Matthews, Ohad Shemmer +10
The most reliable single-epoch supermassive black hole mass () estimates in quasars are obtained by using the velocity widths of low-ionization emission lines, typicall…
Probing Early Super-massive Black Hole Growth and Quasar Evolution with Near-infrared Spectroscopy of 37 Reionization-era Quasars at 6.3 < z <= 7.64
Jinyi Yang, Feige Wang, Xiaohui Fan +18
We report the results of near-infrared spectroscopic observations of 37 quasars in the redshift range , including 32 quasars at , forming the largest quasar n…
Discovery of 16 New z ~ 5.5 Quasars : Filling in the Redshift Gap of Quasar Color Selection
Jinyi Yang, Xiaohui Fan, Xue-Bing Wu +13
We present initial results from the first systematic survey of luminous quasars. Quasars at 5.5, the post-reionization epoch, are crucial tools to explore the…
The physical constraints on a new LoBAL QSO at z=4.82
Weimin Yi, Richard Green, Jin-Ming Bai +26
Very few low-ionization broad absorption line (LoBAL) QSOs have been found at high redshifts to date. One high-redshift LoBAL QSO, J0122+1216, was recently discovered at the Lijian…
MApping the Most Massive Overdensities (MAMMOTH) II -- Discovery of an Extremely Massive Overdensity BOSS1441 at
Zheng Cai, Xiaohui Fan, Fuyan Bian +10
Cosmological simulations suggest a strong correlation between high optical-depth Ly absorbers, which arise from the intergalactic medium (IGM), and 3-D mass overdensities on sca…
Discovery of an Enormous Ly nebula in a massive galaxy overdensity at
Zheng Cai, Xiaohui Fan, Yujin Yang +12
Enormous Ly Nebulae (ELANe), unique tracers of galaxy density peaks, are predicted to lie at the nodes and intersections of cosmic filamentary structures. Previous successful se…
Spectroscopy in the Era of LSST
Thomas Matheson, Xiaohui Fan, Richard Green +5
This report summarizes the results of the 'Spectroscopy in the Era of LSST' workshop held April 11-12, 2013 in Tucson, Arizona. At the workshop, there were breakout sessions coveri…
