The dust-eliminated shape of quasar spectra in the near-infrared: a hidden part of the big blue bump
Makoto Kishimoto, Robert Antonucci, Omer Blaes
The near-infrared shape of the big blue bump component in quasar spectra has been essentially unknown. It usually cannot be observed directly, due to the strong hot dust emission w…
Revealing AGN by Polarimetry
Makoto Kishimoto, Robert Antonucci, Catherine Boisson +1
Polarimetric study in the UV and optical has been one of the keys to reveal the structure and nature of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Combined with the HST's high spatial resolutio…
The buried Balmer-edge signatures from quasars
Makoto Kishimoto, Robert Antonucci, Catherine Boisson +1
In our previous paper, we have reported the detection of a Balmer edge absorption feature in the polarized flux of one quasar (Ton 202). We have now found similar Balmer edge featu…
Accretion around supermassive black holes: the detection of the Balmer edge signature from quasars
Makoto Kishimoto, Robert Antonucci, Catherine Boisson +1
The ultraviolet/optical continuum of quasars is thought to be from an accretion flow around a supermassive black hole, and it dominates the radiative output of quasars. However, th…
