A Changing-Look Seyfert Discovered by eROSITA Reveals a Two-Component Broad-Line Region
Alex Markowitz, Mirko Krumpe, David Homan +12
Extreme sudden changes in the flow of accreting gas onto SMBHs manifest themselves via large-amplitude continuum variability and changes to broad Balmer emission profiles, driving…
SHELLQs-JWST perspective on the intrinsic mass relation between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies at z > 6
John Silverman, Junyao Li, Xuheng Ding +36
The relation between the masses of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their host galaxies encodes information on their mode of growth, especially at the earliest epochs. The Jame…
SHELLQs-JWST Unveils the Host Galaxies of 12 Quasars at z>6
Xuheng Ding, Masafusa Onoue, John D. Silverman +35
The advent of JWST has opened new horizons in the study of quasar host galaxies during the reionization epoch (z>6). Building upon our previous initial measurements of stellar ligh…
A Possible Shutting-Down Event of Mass Accretion in An Active Galactic Nucleus at z~1.8
Tomoki Morokuma, Malte Schramm, Toshihiro Kawaguchi +11
We present the discovery of a large gradual apparent fading event in optical and near-infrared wavelengths in a quasar at z=1.767 by a factor of 20-30 (in optical) over a period of…
A Post-Starburst Pathway for the Formation of Massive Galaxies and Black Holes at z>6
Masafusa Onoue, Xuheng Ding, John D. Silverman +45
Understanding the rapid formation of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the early universe requires insight into stellar mass growth in host galaxies. Here, we present NIRSpec res…
The Physical Origin of Extreme Emission Line Galaxies at High redshifts: Strong {\sc [Oiii]} Emission Lines Produced by Obscured AGNs
Chenghao Zhu, Yuichi Harikane, Masami Ouchi +21
We present deep Subaru/FOCAS spectra for two extreme emission line galaxies (EELGs) at with strong {\sc[Oiii]}5007 emission lines, exhibiting equivalent widths (EWs)…
