CAPERS-LRD-z9: A Gas-enshrouded Little Red Dot Hosting a Broad-line Active Galactic Nucleus at z = 9.288

We present CAPERS-LRD-z9, a little red dot (LRD) that we confirm to be a z = 9.288 broad-line active galactic nucleus (BLAGN). First identified as a high-redshift LRD candidate from PRIMER NIRCam photometry, follow-up NIRSpec/PRISM spectroscopy of CAPERS-L ...

The MBH-M∗ Relation up to z ∼ 2 through Decomposition of COSMOS-Web NIRCam Images

Michaela Hirschmann

Our knowledge of relations between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies at z greater than or similar to 1 is still limited, even though being actively sought out to z similar to 6. Here, we use the high resolution and sensitivity of JWST to mea ...

Discovery of a dormant 33 solar-mass black hole in pre-release Gaia astrometry

Richard Irving Anderson, Mauricio Cruz Reyes

Context. Gravitational waves from black-hole (BH) merging events have revealed a population of extra-galactic BHs residing in short-period binaries with masses that are higher than expected based on most stellar evolution models-And also higher than known ...

Euclid preparation: XLIX. Selecting active galactic nuclei using observed colours

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan

The Euclid space mission will cover over 14 000 deg2 with two optical and near-infrared spectro-photometric instruments, and is expected to detect around ten million active galactic nuclei (AGN). This unique data set will make a considerable impact on our ...

Spectral Templates Optimal for Selecting Galaxies at z > 8 with the JWST

Michaela Hirschmann

The selection of high-redshift galaxies often involves spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to photometric data, an expectation for contamination levels, and measurement of sample completeness-all vetted through comparison to spectroscopic redshift m ...

PS J2107-1611: A new wide-separation, quadruply imaged lensed quasar with flux ratio anomalies

Frédéric Courbin, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon, Frédéric Dux, Favio César Neira Diaz

We report the discovery of PS J2107-1611, a fold-configuration 4.3 ''-separation quadruply lensed quasar with a bright lensed arc. It was discovered using a convolutional neural network on Pan-STARRS gri images of pre-selected quasar candidates with multip ...

Potential scientific synergies in weak lensing studies between the CSST and Euclid space probes

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan

Aims. With the next generation of large surveys poised to join the ranks of observational cosmology in the near future, it is important to explore their potential synergies and to maximize their scientific outcomes. In this study, we aim to investigate the ...

Constraining quasar structure using high-frequency microlensing variations and continuum reverberation

Frédéric Courbin, Vivien François Bonvin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Hung-Hsu Chan, Georgios Vernardos, Eric Gérard Guy Paic

Gravitational microlensing is a powerful tool for probing the inner structure of strongly lensed quasars and for constraining parameters of the stellar mass function of lens galaxies. This is achieved by analysing microlensing light curves between the mult ...

Strongly lensed candidates from the HSC transient survey

Hung-Hsu Chan

We present a lensed quasar search based on the variability of lens systems in the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) transient survey. Starting from 101 353 variable objects with i-band photometry in the HSC transient survey, we used a variability-based lens search m ...

Testing the evolution of correlations between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies using eight strongly lensed quasars

Aymeric Alexandre Galan

One of the main challenges in using high-redshift active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to study the correlations between the mass of a supermassive black hole (M-BH) and the properties of its active host galaxy is instrumental resolution. Strong lensing magnifica ...

Survey of Gravitationally Lensed Objects in HSC Imaging (SuGOHI) - VII. Discovery and confirmation of three strongly lensed quasars

Hung-Hsu Chan

We present spectroscopic confirmation of three new two-image gravitationally lensed quasars, compiled from existing strong lens and X-ray catalogues. Images of HSC J091843.27-022007.5 show a red galaxy with two blue point sources at either side, separated ...

SLITRONOMY: Towards a fully wavelet-based strong lensing inversion technique

Frédéric Courbin, Aymeric Alexandre Galan, Austin Chandler Peel, Rémy Elie Joseph

Strong gravitational lensing provides a wealth of astrophysical information on the baryonic and dark matter content of galaxies. It also serves as a valuable cosmological probe by allowing us to measure the Hubble constant independently of other methods. T ...

Does concentration drive the scatter in the stellar-to-halo mass relation of galaxy clusters?

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan

Concentration is one of the key dark matter halo properties that could drive the scatter in the stellar-to-halo mass relation of massive clusters. We derive robust photometric stellar masses for a sample of brightest central galaxies (BCGs) in SDSS REDMAPP ...

HOLISMOKES: II. Identifying galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses in Pan-STARRS using convolutional neural networks

Frédéric Courbin, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon

We report the results of the STRong lensing Insights into the Dark Energy Survey (STRIDES) follow-up campaign of the late 2017/early 2018 season. We obtained spectra of 65 lensed quasar candidates with ESO Faint Object Spectrograph and Camera 2 on the NTT ...
