Luminosity function of quasars at from SDSS and DESI
Gaocheng Yin, Linhua Jiang, Zhiwei Pan +54
We present a study of the evolution of type 1 quasars at , covering the peak epoch of quasar activity. The quasar evolution has been extensively explored by a variety of…
NEXUS: Spectral Variability of Little Red Dots and Blue Active Galactic Nuclei at
Zachary Stone, Yue Shen, Ming-Yang Zhuang +4
We present spectral measurements for 17 Little Red Dots (LRDs) and 14 blue broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at using multi-epoch JWST NIRSpec MSA s…
Changing-Look AGNs from DESI. VI. Host Galaxies
Shengxiu Sun, Linhua Jiang, Wei-Jian Guo +2
Changing-look (CL) AGNs trace rapid changes in nuclear activity, but their connection to host galaxy properties remains unclear. We present a study of the host galaxies of 105 CL A…
Quiescent Host Galaxies of Extended Quasars Revealed by Spectrophotometric Decomposition
Shengxiu Sun, Linhua Jiang, Zhiwei Pan +27
Previous works of low-redshift quasar host galaxies have focused on compact quasars and found that their host galaxies are mainly star-forming galaxies. Here we present a study of…
Stacked Reverberation Mapping of High Redshift Quasars in DESI. I. Feasibility Analysis
Rahma Alfarsy, R. E. A. Canning, Eva-Maria Mueller +49
The broad line region of quasars has long been probed by reverberation mapping techniques that measure time lags between continuum and broad emission line variations. Stacked rever…
NEXUS: Abundance, Environments, and Spectral Diversity of Little Red Dots from the NIRSpec MSA Sample
Zhiwei Pan, Ming-Yang Zhuang, Yue Shen +6
We present a comprehensive study of Little Red Dots (LRDs) at 2.3 < z < 7.4 using NIRCam photometry and NIRSpec MSA/PRISM spectra from the ongoing NEXUS program. Photometric select…
