Finding the most distant quasars using Bayesian selection methods
Quasars, the brightly glowing disks of material that can form around the super-massive black holes at the centres of large galaxies, are amongst the most luminous astronomical objects known and so can be seen at great distances. The most distant known quasars are seen as they were when the Universe was less than a billion years old (i.e., ∼ 7% of its current age). Such distant quasars are, howe...
متن کاملDust emission from the most distant quasars
We report observations of three SDSS z > 6 QSOs at 250 GHz (1.2 mm) using the 117-channel MaxPlanck Millimeter Bolometer (MAMBO-2) array at the IRAM 30-meter telescope. J1148+5251 (z = 6.41) and J1048+4637 (z = 6.23) were detected with 250 GHz flux densities of 5.0±0.6mJy and 3.0±0.4 mJy, respectively. J1630+4012 (z = 6.05) was not detected with a 3σ upper limit of 1.8 mJy. Upper flux density l...
متن کاملExtreme gas properties in the most distant quasars
We present near-IR, low resolution spectra of eight of the most distant quasars known, with redshifts in the range 4.9<z<6.4. Half of these quasars are characterized by deep, broad and blueshifted absorption features associated with both high and low ionization species (CIV, SiIV, AlIII, MgII), i.e. they belong to the class of Broad Absorption Line (BAL) quasars, which are associated with power...
متن کاملThermal Emission from Warm Dust in the Most Distant Quasars
We report new continuum observations of fourteen z∼6 quasars at 250 GHz and fourteen quasars at 1.4 GHz. We summarize all recent millimeter and radio observations of the sample of the thirty-three quasars known with 5.71 ≤ z ≤ 6.43, and present a study of the rest frame far-infrared (FIR) properties of this sample. These quasars were observed with the Max Plank Millimeter Bolometer Array (MAMBO...
متن کاملThe Impact of Different Genetic Architectures on Accuracy of Genomic Selection Using Three Bayesian Methods
Genome-wide evaluation uses the associations of a large number of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers across the whole genome and then combines the statistical methods with genomic data to predict the genetic values. Genomic predictions relieson linkage disequilibrium (LD) between genetic markers and quantitative trait loci (QTL) in a population. Methods that use all markers simultaneo...
