Axion models with generation-dependent Peccei-Quinn charges can lead to flavor-changing neutral currents, thus motivating QCD axion searches at precision flavor...
Quasar 3C 298: a test-case for meteoritic nanodiamond 3.5μm emission
Aims:We calculate the dust emission expected at 3.43 and 3.53 μm if meteoritic (i.e. hydrogenated) nanodiamonds are responsible for most of the far-UV break...
High signal-to-noise spectra of the H-beta region of eight radio-loud quasars are presented in an investigation seeking evidence for the emission of this line...
Quasar Microlensing Statistics and Flux-ratio Anomalies in Lens Models
Precise lens modeling is a critical step in time delay studies of multiply imaged quasars, which are key for measuring some important cosmological parameters...
Quasar Milli-lensing and Cold Dark Matter (TNG50) Subhaloes. I. Image Splitting
We use numerical mass density profiles from the TNG50 simulation to study the impact of gravitational milli-lensing by dark matter subhaloes on the images of...
Quasars as a Tracer of Large-scale Structures in the Distant Universe
We study the dependence of the number density and properties of quasars on the background galaxy density using the currently largest spectroscopic data sets of...
Quasars with flare/eclipse-like variability identified in ZTF
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are known to exhibit optical/ultraviolet variability and most of them can be well modelled by the damped random walks. Physical...
Quasars with P v broad absorption in BOSS data release 9
Broad absorption lines (BALs) found in a significant fraction of quasar spectra identify high-velocity outflows that might be present in all quasars and could...
