The Nature of an Unidentified X-ray Source in the 7 Ms Chandra Deep Field-South Catalog
Quinn P. Sullivan, Zhibo Yu, William N. Brandt +2
In the 7 Ms Chandra Deep Field-South catalog, only one source, XID 912, was highly significantly detected in X-rays but had no formally reported counterparts in the UV, optical, in…
The X-ray Link Between High Eddington Ratio Dust-Obscured Galaxies (DOGs) and Hot DOGs
Fan Zou, W. N. Brandt, Elena Gallo +2
Dust-obscured galaxies (DOGs) with extremely red optical-to-infrared colors are often associated with intense starburst and AGN activity. Studying DOGs can provide insights into th…
Investigating the Star-Formation Characteristics of Radio Active Galactic Nuclei
Bojun Zhang, Fan Zou, W. N. Brandt +5
The coevolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies represents a fundamental question in astrophysics. One approach to investigating this question involves comparin…
A Rapidly Accreting Active Galactic Nucleus Hidden in a Dust-Obscured Galaxy at
Nathan Cristello, Fan Zou, William N. Brandt +3
Dust-obscured galaxies (DOGs) containing central supermassive black holes (SMBHs) that are rapidly accreting (i.e., having high Eddington ratios, ) may represent a…
The Cosmic Evolution of the Supermassive Black Hole Population: A Hybrid Observed Accretion and Simulated Mergers Approach
Fan Zou, W. N. Brandt, Elena Gallo +4
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can grow through both accretion and mergers. It is still unclear how SMBHs evolve under these two channels from high redshifts to the SMBH populati…
The Remarkable X-ray Spectra and Variability of the Ultraluminous Weak-Line Quasar SDSS J1521+5202
Shouyi Wang, W. Niel Brandt, Bin Luo +4
We present a focused X-ray and multiwavelength study of the ultraluminous weak-line quasar (WLQ) SDSS J1521+5202, one of the few X-ray weak WLQs that is amenable to basic X-ray spe…
