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…

The Road to Identifying the Earliest Radio-Powerful AGN with the SKA

Jose Afonso, Stergios Amarantidis, Stas Shabala +20

The Epoch of Reionization (EoR) is one of the most pivotal frontiers in modern astrophysics, marking the emergence of the first galaxies, stars, and supermassive black holes (SMBHs…

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…
