SDSS-V: Revealing a weak accretion state in X-ray selected red quasars
Paloma Guetzoyan, James Aird, Amy L. Rankine +17
Red quasars (rQSOs) have been recognized as a short-lived, early stage in the evolutionary cycle of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), with fundamental differences in their intrinsic pr…

Chandra X-ray Observations of Quasars with Velocity-Offset Broad Lines: Assessing the Binary Supermassive Black Hole Hypothesis
Peter Breiding, Michael Eracleous, Tamara BogdanoviÄ +2
During the final stages of a galaxy merger, dynamical friction acting on the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the post-merger remnant can lead to the formation of a gravitationa…

The SDSS-V Black Hole Mapper Reverberation Mapping Project: A Kinematically Variable Broad-Line Region and Consequences for Masses of Luminous Quasars
Logan B. Fries, Jonathan R. Trump, Keith Horne +27
We present a velocity-resolved reverberation mapping analysis of the hypervariable quasar RM160 (SDSS J141041.25+531849.0) at z = 0.359 with 153 spectroscopic epochs of data repres…
