Cosmological Evolution of Quasars
We present a model for the cosmological evolution of quasars (QSOs) under the assumption that they are powered by massive accreting black holes. Accretion flows around massive black holes make a transition from high radiative efficiency (∼ 10%) to low efficiency, advection-dominated flows when Ṁ/ṀEdd falls below the critical rate ∼ 0.3α2 ∼ 10−2 where Ṁ is the mass accretion rate, ṀEdd ∝ M is th...
متن کاملSearching for the Physical Drivers of Eigenvector 1: from Quasars to Nano-quasars
We point out an analogy between two accreting white dwarfs with jets (CH Cyg and MWC 560) and powerful quasars. In spite of the enormous difference in the mass of the central object (a factor ∼10), the emission lines are strikingly similar to those of I Zw 1 (the prototype “Narrow Line Seyfert 1” nucleus whose spectrum is widely used as an FeII template for almost all quasars). The spectral sim...
متن کاملA Limit from the X-ray Background on the Contribution of Quasars to Reionization
A population of black holes (BHs) at high redshifts (z ∼> 6) that contributes significantly to the ionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM) would be accompanied by the copious production of hard ( ∼> 10 keV) X-ray photons. The resulting hard X–ray background would redshift and be observed as a present–day soft X–ray background (SXB). Under the hypothesis that BHs are the main producers of r...
متن کاملDiscovery of a very Lyman-α-luminous quasar at z = 6.62
Distant luminous quasars provide important information on the growth of the first supermassive black holes, their host galaxies and the epoch of reionization. The identification of quasars is usually performed through detection of their Lyman-α line redshifted to 0.9 microns at z > 6.5. Here, we report the discovery of a very Lyman-α luminous quasar, PSO J006.1240 + 39.2219 at redshift z = 6.61...
متن کاملEstimating the continuum of quasars using the articial neural networks
A lot of absorption lines are in the bluewards of Lyα emission line of quasar which is well-known as Lyαforest. Most of absorption lines in this forest belong to the Lyα absorption of the neutral hydrogen in the inter-galactic medium (IGM). For high redshift quasars and in the continuum with low and medium resolution, there are no many regions without absorption, so that, the quasar continuum i...
