Probing the He II re-Ionization ERa via Absorbing C IV Historical Yield (HIERACHY) II: Project Design, Current Status, and Examples of Initial Data Products
Jiang-Tao Li, Xiaodi Yu, Huiyang Mao +22
The He II reionization epoch is expected to take place at . In this stage, the helium and metals in the inter-galactic medium (IGM) are further ionized with additional co…
The Carousel Lens: A Well-Modeled Strong Lens with Multiple Lensed Sources
William Sheu, Aleksandar Cikota, Xiaosheng Huang +12
Over the past few years alone, the lensing community has discovered thousands of strong lens candidates, and spectroscopically confirmed hundreds of them. In this time of abundance…
The rich galactic environment of a H-absorption selected quasar
F. Urbina, P. Noterdaeme, T. A. M. Berg +3
We present the first VLT/MUSE observations of a quasar featuring a proximate molecular absorption system, SDSS J125917.31+030922.5. The proximate damped Ly absorption acts as a…
The optimisation of short-term scheduling of science observations at Paranal observatory (VLT and ELT)
Joseph P. Anderson, Elyar Sedaghati, Aleksandar Cikota +4
The efficiency of science observation Short-Term Scheduling (STS) can be defined as being a function of how many highly ranked observations are completed per unit time. Current STS…
Damping Wing-Like Features in the Stacked Ly Forest: Potential Neutral Hydrogen Islands at
Yongda Zhu, George D. Becker, Sarah E. I. Bosman +28
Recent quasar absorption line observations suggest that reionization may end as late as . As a means to search for large neutral hydrogen islands at , we revisi…
Quasi-periodic X-ray eruptions and tidal disruption events prefer similar host galaxies
T. Wevers, K. D. French, A. I. Zabludoff +10
In the past five years, six quasi-periodic X-ray eruption (QPE) sources have been discovered in the nuclei of nearby galaxies. Their origin remains an open question. We present MUS…
Supermassive black holes are growing slowly by
Samuel Lai, Christopher A. Onken, Christian Wolf +2
We investigate the black hole mass function at using XQz5, our recent sample of the most luminous quasars between the redshifts . We include 72 quasars with…
Large Scale Overdensity of Lyman Break Galaxies Around the z=6.3 Ultraluminous Quasar J0100+2802
Maria Pudoka, Feige Wang, Xiaohui Fan +8
We study the environment of the z=6.33 ultraluminous quasar SDSS J010013.02+280225.8 (J0100) to understand its association with large-scale structure. Theoretical models propose hi…
A Spatially Resolved [CII] Survey of 31 Massive Galaxies Hosting Luminous Quasars
Feige Wang, Jinyi Yang, Xiaohui Fan +15
The [CII] 158 m emission line and the underlying far-infrared (FIR) dust continuum are important tracers for studying star formation and kinematic properties of early galaxies.…
Identification of 40 gravitationally magnified stars in a galaxy at redshift of 0.725
Yoshinobu Fudamoto, Fengwu Sun, Jose M. Diego +44
Strong gravitational magnifications enable to detect faint background sources, resolve their internal structures, and even identify individual stars in distant galaxies. Highly mag…
The accretion of a solar mass per day by a 17-billion solar mass black hole
Christian Wolf, Samuel Lai, Christopher A. Onken +5
Around a million quasars have been catalogued in the Universe by probing deeper and using new methods for discovery. However, the hardest ones to find seem to be the rarest and bri…
A Massive Protocluster Anchored by a Luminous Quasar at
Feige Wang, Jinyi Yang, Joseph F. Hennawi +13
Protoclusters, the progenitors of galaxy clusters, trace large scale structures in the early Universe and are important to our understanding of structure formation and galaxy evolu…
Understanding the Universal Dust Attenuation Scaling Relation of Star-Forming Galaxies
J. Qin, X. Z. Zheng, S. Wuyts +17
Star-forming galaxies (SFGs) adhere to a surprisingly tight scaling relation of dust attenuation parameterized by the infrared excess (IRX=), being jointly d…
Quantifying the escape of Ly at : a census of Ly escape fraction with H emitting galaxies spectroscopically confirmed by JWST and VLT/MUSE
Xiaojing Lin, Zheng Cai, Yunjing Wu +11
JWST provides an unprecedented opportunity for unbiased surveys of H-emitting galaxies at with the NIRCam wide-field slitless spectroscopy (WFSS). In this work, we present…
