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…
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…
Cosmic Pairs: A DESI Census of Dual and Offset AGN as Precursors to Massive Black Hole Binaries
Ekaterine Dadiani, Antonella Palmese, Yihao Zhou +52
The paper presents a large, uniformly selected spectroscopic catalog of dual and offset active galactic nuclei from the first DESI data release, analyzing their host galaxy propert…
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…
Alleviating prior dependencies for DESI DR1 clustering fits through reparameterization
Marco Bonici, Simone Paradiso, Glenn McGee +48
Bayesian analyses of the full-shape clustering of Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 1 (DR1) exhibit prior-volume projection effects, whereby weakly constrain…
Disentangling the Distant Stellar Halo Using K-Giants in the DESI Year 3 Data
Namitha Kizhuprakkat, Andrew P. Cooper, Wenting Wang +42
We present a sample of 88,959 K-giants from DESI Milky Way Survey Year 3 data, which we use to characterize the chemo-dynamical properties of the stellar halo at Galactocentric dis…
