An X-ray and Multiwavelength Survey of Highly Radio-Loud Quasars at z > 4: Jet-Linked Emission in the Brightest Radio Beacons of the Early Universe
Jianfeng Wu, W. N. Brandt, Brendan P. Miller +3
(Abridged) We present a systematic study of the X-ray and multiwavelength properties of a sample of 17 highly radio-loud quasars (HRLQs) at z > 4 with sensitive X-ray coverage from…
X-ray and Multiwavelength Insights into the Inner Structure of High-Luminosity Disc-Like Emitters
B. Luo, W. N. Brandt, M. Eracleous +5
We present X-ray and multiwavelength studies of a sample of eight high-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with disc-like Hβemission-line profiles selected from the Sloan Digi…
PHL 1811 Analogs: A Population of X-ray Weak Quasars
Jianfeng Wu, W. N. Brandt, Patrick B. Hall +6
We report on a population of X-ray weak quasars with similar UV emission-line properties to those of the remarkable quasar PHL 1811. All radio-quiet PHL 1811 analogs are notably X-…
The Lack of Torus Emission from BL Lacertae Objects: An Infrared View of Unification with WISE
Richard M. Plotkin, Scott F. Anderson, W. N. Brandt +3
We use data from the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) to perform a statistical study on the mid-infrared (IR) properties of a large number () of BL Lac objects…
X-ray and Multiwavelength Insights into the Nature of Weak Emission-Line Quasars at Low Redshift
Jianfeng Wu, W. N. Brandt, Scott F. Anderson +5
(Abridged) We report on the X-ray and multiwavelength properties of 11 radio-quiet quasars with weak or no emission lines identified by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) with red…
Can we measure the accretion efficiency of Active Galactic Nuclei?
S. I. Raimundo, A. C. Fabian, R. V. Vasudevan +2
The accretion efficiency for individual black holes is very difficult to determine accurately. There are many factors that can influence each step of the calculation, such as the d…
