The WISSH quasars project XI. The mean Spectral Energy Distribution and Bolometric Corrections of the most luminous quasars
Ivano Saccheo, Angela Bongiorno, Enrico Piconcelli +18
Hyper-luminous Quasi-Stellar Objects (QSOs) represent the ideal laboratory to investigate Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) feedback mechanism since their formidable energy release caus…
Breaking the rules at 0.45: the rebel case of RBS 1055
A. Marinucci, G. Vietri, E. Piconcelli +5
We report on a long (250 ks) NuSTAR observation of the bright quasar RBS 1055 performed in March 2021, and archival XMM-Newton pointings (185 ks) taken in July 2014. An optical spe…
The intermediate-ionization lines as virial broadening estimators for Population A quasars
P. Marziani, A. del Olmo, C. A. Negrete +10
The identification of a virial broadening estimator in the quasar UV rest frame suitable for black hole mass computation at high redshift has become an important issue. We compare…
The WISSH quasars project X. Discovery of a multi-component and highly-variable UV ultra-fast outflow in a z=3.6 quasar
G. Vietri, T. Misawa, E. Piconcelli +16
We report on the variability of a multi-component broad absorption line (BAL) system observed in the hyper-luminous quasar J1538+0855 at z=3.6. Observations from SDSS, VLT, LBT and…
