Tracing the rise of supermassive black holes A panchromatic search for faint, unobscured quasars at z ≥ 6 with COSMOS-Web and other surveys
We report the identification of 64 new candidates of compact galaxies, potentially hosting faint quasars with bolometric luminosities of L-bol = 10(43)-10(46) erg s(-1), residing in the reionization epoch within the redshift range of 6 less than or similar ...
Edp Sciences S A2024Resolving the vicinity of supermassive black holes with gravitational microlensing
Upcoming wide-field surveys will discover thousands of new strongly lensed quasars which will be monitored with unprecedented cadence by the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). Many of these quasars will undergo caustic-crossing events over the 10-yr L ...
Oxford Univ Press2024The Origins of Gas Accreted by Supermassive Black Holes: The Importance of Recycled Gas
We investigate the fueling mechanisms of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) by analyzing 10 zoom-in cosmological simulations of massive galaxies, with stellar masses 1011-12 M circle dot and SMBH masses 108.9-9.7 M circle dot at z = 0, featuring various majo ...
Bristol2024A generalization of the Hawking black hole area theorem
Hawking's black hole area theorem was proven using the null energy condition (NEC), a pointwise condition violated by quantum fields. The violation of the NEC is usually cited as the reason that black hole evaporation is allowed in the context of semiclass ...
Springer/Plenum Publishers2024Instability and trajectories of buoyancy-driven annular disks: A numerical study
François Gallaire, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Giovanni Vagnoli
We investigate the stability of the steady vertical path and the emerging trajectories of a buoyancy -driven annular disk as the diameter of its central hole is varied. The steady and axisymmetric wake associated with the steady vertical path of the disk, ...
Amer Physical Soc2024Strong gravitational lensing by AGNs as a probe of the quasar-host relations in the distant Universe
Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Aymeric Alexandre Galan, Malte Tewes
A rare case of a quasar acting as a gravitational lens allows a precise determination of the mass of the quasar's host galaxy and offers a new path to studying the connections between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. The tight correlations ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Strong and micro lensing in distant quasars
Most large galaxies contain Super Massive Black Holes at their centers, drawing matter nearby to form swirling accretion disks emitting electromagnetic radiation. These are Active Galactic Nuclei. The brightest quasars are the most luminous Universe object ...
EPFL2023A model for the infrared-radio correlation of main sequence galaxies at gigahertz frequencies and its variation with redshift and stellar mass
Context. The infrared-radio correlation (IRRC) of star-forming galaxies can be used to estimate their star formation rate (SFR) based on the radio continuum luminosity at MHz-GHz frequencies. For its practical application in future deep radio surveys, it i ...
Les Ulis Cedex A2023Emission-line properties of IllustrisTNG galaxies: from local diagnostic diagrams to high-redshift predictions for JWST
Michaela Hirschmann, Adèle Marie Françoise Plat
We compute synthetic, rest-frame optical and ultraviolet (UV) emission-line properties of galaxy populations at redshifts from z approximate to 0 to =8 in a full cosmological framework. We achieve this by coupling, in post-processing, the cosmological Illu ...
Oxford2023J1721+8842: a gravitationally lensed binary quasar with a proximate damped Lyman-alpha absorber
Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Eric Gérard Guy Paic, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon, Hung-Hsu Chan, Adriano Agnello
High-redshift binary quasars provide key insights into mergers and quasar activity, and are useful tools for probing the spatial kinematics and chemistry of galaxies along the line of sight. However, only three sub-10-kpc binaries have been confirmed above ...
