The cosmic environment overtakes the local density in shaping galaxy star formation

Jian Ren, Zhizheng Pan, XianZhong Zheng +11

The gas supply from the cosmic web is the key to sustain star formation in galaxies. It remains to be explored how the cosmic large-scale structure (LSS) effects on galaxy evolutio…

Probing Early Super-massive Black Hole Growth and Quasar Evolution with Near-infrared Spectroscopy of 37 Reionization-era Quasars at 6.3 < z <= 7.64

Jinyi Yang, Feige Wang, Xiaohui Fan +18

We report the results of near-infrared spectroscopic observations of 37 quasars in the redshift range , including 32 quasars at , forming the largest quasar n…

Chasing the Tail of Cosmic Reionization with Dark Gap Statistics in the Ly Forest over

Yongda Zhu, George D. Becker, Sarah E. I. Bosman +14

We present a new investigation of the intergalactic medium (IGM) near the end of reionization using "dark gaps" in the Lyman-alpha (Ly) forest. Using spectra of 55 QSOs at $z_{\…

The mass-metallicity relation at cosmic noon in overdense environments: first results from the MAMMOTH-Grism HST slitless spectroscopic survey

Xin Wang, Zihao Li, Zheng Cai +9

The MAMMOTH-Grism slitless spectroscopic survey is a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) cycle-28 medium program, which is obtaining 45 orbits of WFC3/IR grism spectroscopy in the density…

Hydrogen reionisation ends by : Lyman- optical depth measured by the XQR-30 sample

Sarah E. I. Bosman, Frederick B. Davies, George D. Becker +23

The presence of excess scatter in the Ly- forest at , together with the existence of sporadic extended opaque Gunn-Peterson troughs, has started to provide robust evi…

The major mechanism to drive turbulence in star-forming galaxies

Xiaoling Yu, Fuyan Bian, Mark R. Krumholz +3

Two competing models, gravitational instability-driven transport and stellar feedback, have been proposed to interpret the high velocity dispersions observed in high-redshift galax…

Ultra-luminous high-redshift quasars from SkyMapper -- II. New quasars and the bright end of the luminosity function

Christopher A. Onken, Christian Wolf, Fuyan Bian +5

We search for ultra-luminous Quasi-Stellar Objects (QSOs) at high redshift using photometry from the SkyMapper Southern Survey Data Release 3 (DR3), in combination with 2MASS, VHS…

A Luminous Quasar at Redshift 7.642

Feige Wang, Jinyi Yang, Xiaohui Fan +20

Distant quasars are unique tracers to study the formation of the earliest supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and the history of cosmic reionization. Despite extensive efforts, only t…
