The Luminosity Dependence of Quasar Clustering
We investigate the luminosity dependence of quasar clustering, inspired by numerical simulations of galaxy mergers that incorporate black hole growth. These simulations have motivated a new interpretation of the quasar luminosity function. In this picture, the bright end of the quasar luminosity function consists of quasars radiating nearly at their peak luminosities, while the faint end consis...
متن کاملMeasuring the Dark Energy with Quasar Clustering
We show, through Monte Carlo simulations, that the Alcock-Pazyński test, as applied to quasar clustering, is a powerful tool to probe the cosmological density and equation of state parameters, Ωm0, Ωx0 and w. By taking into account peculiar velocity corrections to the correlation function we obtain, for the Two-Degree Field QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ), the predicted 1σ and 2σ confidence contours....
متن کاملQuasar Clustering and the Lifetime of Quasars
Although the population of luminous quasars rises and falls over a period of ∼ 109 years, the typical lifetime of individual quasars is uncertain by several orders of magnitude. We show that quasar clustering measurements can substantially narrow the range of possible lifetimes with the assumption that luminous quasars reside in the most massive host halos. If quasars are long-lived, then they ...
متن کاملThe Warm Molecular Gas around the Cloverleaf Quasar
We present the first broadband λ = 1mm spectrum toward the z = 2.56 Cloverleaf Quasar, obtained with Z-Spec, a 1-mm grating spectrograph on the 10.4-meter Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. The 190–305 GHz observation band corresponds to rest-frame 272 to 444 μm, and we measure the dust continuum as well as all four transitions of carbon monoxide (CO) lying in this range. The power-law dust emi...
متن کاملExtended Ionized Nebula around the Quasar Mr 2251
We report the results of deep H imaging of the ionized gas surrounding the low-redshift (z = 0:0638) quasar MR 2251{178 using the TAURUS Tunable Filter (TTF) on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. Our observations reach a 2-detection level of 5 10 ?18 erg s ?1 cm ?2 arcsec ?2 , more than an order of magnitude deeper than conventional narrowband images previously published on this object. Our data r...
