The WISSHFUL program: the highest redshift UFO discovered in a non-lensed QSO
G. Lanzuisi, L. Borrelli, E. Piconcelli +28
We present the first results from the WISSHFUL program, an XMM-Newton heritage program targeting luminous QSOs at Cosmic Noon. We report on recent simultaneous XMM-Newton and NuSTA…
GREX-PLUS Science Book v2
PLUS Science Team, Shunsuke Baba, Sirio Belli +52
GREX-PLUS (Galaxy Reionization EXplorer and PLanetary Universe Spectrometer) is a mission candidate for a JAXA strategic L-class mission to be launched in the 2030s. Its primary sc…
Blackbody Quasar and Radio Source (BBQSORS): A Candidate of Transitional Little Red Dots with a Blackbody Spectrum
Yuxing Zhong, Xiaoyang Chen, Kohei Ichikawa +12
We report Subaru/PFS spectroscopic follow-up of a radio-loud quasar at from the UNVEIL radio AGN catalog and with X-ray detections. The PFS spectrum displays a broad MgII…
Reporting a Deficit of Intrinsic NV Absorbers in Core-dominated, Radio-loud Quasars
Chris Culliton, Amber Roberts, Bryan DeMarcy +5
We searched the Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Origins Spectrograph archive for ultraviolet spectra of 428 AGN to identify intrinsic NV absorption systems. We filtered out Type 2 AG…
The first direct imaging of the silhouette of a damped Lyman system along the line-of-sight to a background galaxy
Fuga Komori, Akio K. Inoue, Ken Mawatari +7
The H~{\sc i} gas distribution in damped Lyman absorbers (DLAs) has remained elusive due to the point-source nature of background quasar emission. Observing DLAs against spati…
An Extremely-High Velocity Outflow in SMSS J2157-3602, the most luminous quasar in the first 1.3 Gyr
Giustina Vietri, Paola Rodriguez Hidalgo, Amy Rankine +16
We report the discovery of an extremely high-velocity outflow (EHVO) in the most luminous ( 2.29 10 erg/s) QSO, SMSS J2157-3602, at z=4.692. Comb…
