An ultra-luminous quasar at z=5.363 with a ten billion solar mass black hole and a Metal-Rich DLA at z~5
Feige Wang, Xue-Bing Wu, Xiaohui Fan +11
We report the discovery of an ultra-luminous quasar J030642.51+185315.8 (hereafter J0306+1853) at redshift 5.363, which hosts a super-massive black hole (SMBH) with $M_{BH} = (1.07…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Rapid CIV Broad Absorption Line Variability
C. J. Grier, P. B. Hall, W. N. Brandt +22
We report the discovery of rapid variations of a high-velocity CIV broad absorption line trough in the quasar SDSS J141007.74+541203.3. This object was intensively observed in 2014…
Discovery of Eight z ~ 6 Quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Overlap Regions
Linhua Jiang, Ian D. McGreer, Xiaohui Fan +5
We present the discovery of eight quasars at z~6 identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) overlap regions. Individual SDSS imaging runs have some overlap with each other,…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: No Evidence for Evolution in the M-sigma Relation to z~1
Yue Shen, Jenny E. Greene, Luis C. Ho +16
We present host stellar velocity dispersion measurements for a sample of 88 broad-line quasars at 0.1<z<1 (46 at z>0.6) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping (SDS…
An ultra-luminous quasar with a twelve-billion-solar-mass black hole at redshift 6.30
Xue-Bing Wu, Feige Wang, Xiaohui Fan +10
So far, roughly 40 quasars with redshifts greater than z=6 have been discovered. Each quasar contains a black hole with a mass of about one billion solar masses (). T…
The identification of z-dropouts in Pan-STARRS1: three quasars at 6.5<z<6.7
B. P. Venemans, E. Bañados, R. Decarli +30
Luminous distant quasars are unique probes of the high redshift intergalactic medium (IGM) and of the growth of massive galaxies and black holes in the early universe. Absorption d…
