Deep I-band Imaging of z=5.99 Quasar
Deep I-band imaging was carried out to search for the optical counterpart of the X-ray jet candidate near SDSS 1306+0356, reported by Schwartz (2022, astro-ph/0202190). The data suggest that the extended X-ray source may be a jet, related to a galaxy rather than to the quasar itself.
متن کاملLuminosity-dependent Quasar Lifetimes: a New Interpretation of the Quasar Luminosity Function
We propose a new interpretation of the quasar luminosity function (LF), derived from physically motivated models of quasar lifetimes and light curves. In our picture, quasars evolve rapidly and their lifetime depends on both their instantaneous and peak luminosities. We study this model using simulations of galaxy mergers that successfully reproduce a wide range of observed quasar phenomena. Wi...
متن کاملPredictions of Quasar Clustering: Redshift, Luminosity and Selection Dependence
We show that current clustering observations of quasars and luminous AGN can be explained by a merger model augmented by feedback from outflows. Using numerical simulations large enough to study clustering out to 25 comoving h−1 Mpc, we calculate correlation functions, biases, and correlation lengths as a function of AGN redshift and optical and X-ray luminosity. At optical wavelengths, our res...
متن کاملLuminosity-dependent Quasar Lifetimes: Reconciling the Optical and X-ray Quasar Luminosity Functions
We consider implications of our new model of quasar lifetimes and light curves for the quasar luminosity function (LF) at different frequencies and redshifts. In our picture, quasars evolve rapidly and the lifetime depends on both their instantaneous and peak luminosities. The bright end of the LF traces the peak intrinsic quasar activity, but the faint end consists of quasars which are either ...
متن کاملThe UVX quasar optical luminosity function and its evolution
The recently-finished Edinburgh UVX quasar survey at B < 18 is used together with other complete samples to estimate the shape and evolution of the optical luminosity function in the redshift range 0.3 < z < 2.2. There is a significantly higher space density of quasars at high luminosity and low redshift than previously found in the PG sample of Schmidt & Green (1983), with the result that the ...
