The most extreme high-z radio quasars in the eRASS:1 X-ray survey

L. Ighina, L. Palmieri, L. N. Martínez-Ramírez +7

We present the selection and identification of high-z radio quasars from a combination of X-ray (eROSITA All-Sky Survey), optical/NIR (DECam Local Volume Exploration), and radio (R…

ASPIRE: The Environments and Dark Matter Halos of Luminous Quasars in the Epoch of Reionization

Feige Wang, Jaclyn B. Champagne, Jiamu Huang +42

We present a systematic study of the environments of 25 luminous quasars at from the ASPIRE program. Using JWST/NIRCam WFSS data, we identified 487 galaxies at $5.3 \less…

Extreme Galaxy-scale Outflows Are Frequent among Luminous Early Quasars

Weizhe Liu, Xiaohui Fan, Huan Li +23

The existence of abundant post-starburst/quiescent galaxies just 1-2 Gyrs after the Big Bang challenges our current paradigm of galaxy evolution. Cosmological simulations sug…

X-ray investigation of possible super-Eddington accretion in a radio-loud quasar at

L. Ighina, A. Caccianiga, T. Connor +19

We present radio and X-ray observations of the recently discovered radio-powerful quasar RACS J032021.44352104.1 using uGMRT, ATCA, LBA, and Chandra. The observed radio…
