Accurate Determination of Chemical Abundances near a Supermassive Black Hole
The XRISM collaboration
The metal abundances in galactic nuclei carry key information on the history of star formation and mass transfer in central regions of galaxies. X-ray fluorescence analysis is a un…
Subaru High-z Exploration of Low-Luminosity Quasars (SHELLQs) XXII. Chandra observations of narrow-line quasar candidates at z>6
K. Iwasawa, R. Gilli, F. Vito +13
We report on Chandra X-ray observations of four narrow-line quasar candidates at z~6, selected from the SHELLQs project, based on the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam survey. These objects…
SHELLQs. Bridging the Gap: JWST Unveils Obscured Quasars in the Most Luminous Galaxies at z > 6
Yoshiki Matsuoka, Masafusa Onoue, Kazushi Iwasawa +17
The unprecedented sensitivity of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has uncovered a surprisingly abundant population of mildly obscured, low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (A…
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…
ALMA Sub-parsec Resolution Dense Molecular Line Observations of the NGC 1068 Nucleus
Masatoshi Imanishi, Bernd Vollmer, Yoshiaki Hagiwara +3
We present the results of our ALMA observations of the dense molecular HCN J=4-3 and HCO J=4-3 lines at 1 pc (14 mas) resolution in the nuclear region of…
