Investigating the {Origin} of the Absorption-Line Variability in Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxy WPVS 007

Kaylie S. Green, Sarah C. Gallagher, Karen M. Leighly +5

Broad Absorption Line Quasars (BALQs) are actively accreting supermassive black holes that have strong outflows characterized by broad absorption lines in their rest-UV spectra. Va…

The LSST AGN Data Challenge: Selection methods

Đorđe V. Savić, Isidora Jankov, Weixiang Yu +12

Development of the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) includes a series of Data Challenges (DC) arranged by various LSST Scientific Collaborations (SC) that a…

No redshift evolution in the rest-frame UV emission line properties of quasars from z=1.5 to z=4.0

Matthew Stepney, Manda Banerji, Paul C. Hewett +4

We analyse the rest-frame UV spectra of 2,531 high-redshift (3.5<z<4.0) quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR16Q catalogue. In combination with previous work, we study the r…

Gemini Near Infrared Spectrograph -- Distant Quasar Survey: Augmented Spectroscopic Catalog and a Prescription for Correcting UV-Based Quasar Redshifts

Brandon M. Matthews, Cooper Dix, Ohad Shemmer +13

Quasars at most often have redshifts measured from rest-frame ultraviolet emission lines. One of the most common such lines, C IV , shows blueshifts up to ${…

Shedding New Light on Weak Emission-Line Quasars in the C-H Parameter Space

Trung Ha, Cooper Dix, Brandon M. Matthews +20

Weak emission-line quasars (WLQs) are a subset of Type 1 quasars that exhibit extremely weak LyN V 1240 and/or C IV 1549 emission lines. We investigate the relationship b…

Gemini Near Infrared Spectrograph - Distant Quasar Survey: Prescriptions for Calibrating UV-Based Estimates of Supermassive Black Hole Masses in High-Redshift Quasars

Cooper Dix, Brandon Matthews, Ohad Shemmer +10

The most reliable single-epoch supermassive black hole mass () estimates in quasars are obtained by using the velocity widths of low-ionization emission lines, typicall…
