Boost recall in QSO selection from highly imbalanced photometric datasets
Giorgio Calderone, Francesco Guarneri, Matteo Porru +9
Context. The identification of bright QSOs is of great importance to probe the intergalactic medium and address open questions in cosmology. Several approaches have been adopted to…
On the 12C/13C isotopic ratio at the dawn of chemical evolution
P. Molaro, D. S. Aguado, E. Caffau +21
The known Mega and Hyper Metal-Poor (MMP-HMP) stars with [Fe/H]<-6.0 and <-5.0, respectively, likely belong to the CEMP-no class, i.e. carbon-enhanced stars with low or absent seco…
Virial Black Hole Mass Estimates of Quasars in the XQ-100 Legacy Survey
Samuel Lai, Christopher A. Onken, Christian Wolf +4
The black hole (BH) mass and luminosity are key factors in determining how a quasar interacts with its environment. In this study, we utilise data from the European Southern Observ…
Measurements of the Lyman- forest flux auto-correlation functions from the extended XQR-30 data set
Molly Wolfson, Joseph F. Hennawi, Sarah E. I. Bosman +14
Recently, the Lyman- (Ly) forest flux auto-correlation function has been shown to be sensitive to the mean free path of hydrogen-ionizing photons, , for simul…
Crossing the Rubicon of Reionization with z~5 QSOs
A. Grazian, K. Boutsia, E. Giallongo +12
One of the key open questions in Cosmology is the nature of the sources that completed the cosmological hydrogen Reionization at z~5.2. High-z primeval galaxies have been long cons…
XQR-30: the ultimate XSHOOTER quasar sample at the reionization epoch
Valentina D'Odorico, E. Banados, G. D. Becker +46
The final phase of the reionization process can be probed by rest-frame UV absorption spectra of quasars at z>6, shedding light on the properties of the diffuse intergalactic mediu…
