New Evidence for Extended HeII Reionization at z>3.5 from HeII Lyman Alpha and Beta Transmission Spikes

Kirill Makan, Gábor Worseck, Frederick B. Davies +3

We present new high-resolution (R~14,000) spectra of the two brightest HeII-transparent quasars in the far-UV (FUV) at z>3.5, HE2QSJ2311-1417 (z=3.70) and HE2QSJ1630+0435 (z=3.81),…

Revealing the Accretion Physics of Supermassive Black Holes at Redshift z~7 with Chandra and Infrared Observations

Feige Wang, Xiaohui Fan, Jinyi Yang +14

X-ray emission from quasars has been detected up to redshift , although only limited to a few objects at . In this work, we present new Chandra observations of five $…

Measurements of the z ~ 6 Intergalactic Medium Optical Depth and Transmission Spikes Using a New z > 6.3 Quasar Sample

Jinyi Yang, Feige Wang, Xiaohui Fan +9

We report new measurements of the intergalactic medium (IGM) Ly and Ly effective optical depth at , using a new sample of quasar sightlines including 32 quasars at…

Probing Reionization and Early Cosmic Enrichment with the MgII Forest

Joseph F. Hennawi, Frederick B. Davies, Feige Wang +1

Because the same massive stars that reionized the intergalactic medium (IGM) inevitably exploded as supernovae that polluted the Universe with metals, the history of cosmic reioniz…

Constraining the Gravitational Lensing of Quasars from their Proximity Zones

Frederick B. Davies, Feige Wang, Anna-Christina Eilers +1

Since their discovery twenty years ago, the observed luminosity function of quasars has been suspected to be biased by gravitational lensing. Apart from the recent disc…
