The accretion of quasars at the epoch of reionisation: catches the primeval monsters slowly feasting

B. Trefoloni, E. Nardini, S. Carniani +8

Quasars (QSOs) emit an enormous amount of light as a result of the accretion of gas onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Thanks to their luminosity, the most distant known QSOs a…

Cosmic Duets I. High-spatial resolution spectroscopy of dual and lensed AGN with MUSE-NFM

M. Scialpi, F. Mannucci, Q. D'Amato +34

We present the first-year results of the MUSE Large Program "Cosmic Duets", whose goal is to obtain adaptive-optics assisted MUSE observations with an angular resolution of 0.1"-0.…

The X-rayUV Luminosity Relation of eROSITA Quasars

Andrea Sacchi, Guido Risaliti, Matilde Signorini +3

The non-linear relation between the UV and X-ray luminosity in quasars has been studied for decades. However, as we lack a comprehensive model able to explain it, its investigation…

Quasar cosmology II: joint analyses with Cosmic Microwave Background

M. Benetti, G. Bargiacchi, G. Risaliti +3

Currently, the increasing availability of accurate cosmological probes leads to the emergence of tensions between data on the one hand and between theoretical predictions and direc…

Are quasars reliable standard candles?

Elisabeta Lusso, Guido Risaliti, Emanuele Nardini

In this paper we address the question whether the non-linear relation between the X-ray and UV emission of quasars can be used to derive their distances. In previous works of our g…
