The Discovery of a Gravitationally Lensed Quasar at z = 6.51
Xiaohui Fan, Feige Wang, Jinyi Yang +17
Strong gravitational lensing provides a powerful probe of the physical properties of quasars and their host galaxies. A high fraction of the most luminous high-redshift quasars was…
Titans of the Early Universe: The Prato Statement on the Origin of the First Supermassive Black Holes
Tyrone E. Woods, Bhaskar Agarwal, Volker Bromm +30
In recent years, the discovery of massive quasars at z~7 has provided a striking challenge to our understanding of the origin and growth of supermassive black holes in the early Un…
Most Lensed Quasars at are Missed by Current Surveys
Fabio Pacucci, Abraham Loeb
The discovery of the first strongly lensed quasar at (J0439+1634) represents a breakthrough in our understanding of the early Universe. We derive the theoreti…
Glimmering in the dark: modeling the low-mass end of the relation and of the quasar luminosity function
Fabio Pacucci, Abraham Loeb, Mar Mezcua +1
The relation establishes a connection between central black holes (BHs) and their host spheroids. Supported by observations at $M_{\bullet} \gtrsim 10^5 \, M_{\od…
