The MUSE Ultra Deep Field (MUDF). IV. A pair of X-ray weak quasars at the heart of two extended Lyα nebulae

Elisabeta Lusso, Emanuele Nardini, Michele Fumagalli +10

We present the results obtained from follow-up observations of the MUSE Ultra Deep Field (MUDF) at X-ray energies with XMM-Newton. The MUDF is centred on a unique field with two br…

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…

HYPerluminous quasars at the Epoch of ReionizatION (HYPERION). A new regime for the X-ray nuclear properties of the first quasars

L. Zappacosta, E. Piconcelli, F. Fiore +40

The existence of luminous quasars (QSO) at the Epoch of Reionization (EoR; i.e. z>6) powered by supermassive black holes (SMBH) with masses challenges models…

Spectroscopy of QUBRICS quasar candidates: 1672 new redshifts and a Golden Sample for the Sandage Test of the Redshift Drift

Stefano Cristiani, Matteo Porru, Francesco Guarneri +10

The QUBRICS (QUasars as BRIght beacons for Cosmology in the Southern hemisphere) survey aims at constructing a sample of the brightest quasars with z>~2.5, observable with faciliti…
