Predictions for Ultra-Deep Radio Counts of Star-Forming Galaxies

Claudia Mancuso, Andrea Lapi, Zhen-Yi Cai +6

We have worked out predictions for the radio counts of star-forming galaxies down to nJy levels, along with redshift distributions down to the detection limits of the phase 1 Squar…

An ultra-luminous quasar at z=5.363 with a ten billion solar mass black hole and a Metal-Rich DLA at z~5

Feige Wang, Xue-Bing Wu, Xiaohui Fan +11

We report the discovery of an ultra-luminous quasar J030642.51+185315.8 (hereafter J0306+1853) at redshift 5.363, which hosts a super-massive black hole (SMBH) with $M_{BH} = (1.07…
