Strongly lensed candidates from the HSC transient survey

Kavli Affiliate: Naoki Yasuda | First 5 Authors: Dani C. -Y. Chao, James H. -H. Chan, Sherry H. Suyu, Naoki Yasuda, Tomoki Morokuma | Summary: We present a lensed quasar search based on the variability of lens systems in the HSC transient survey. Starting from 101,353 variable objects with i-band photometry in the HSC transient […]

The Harder They Fall, the Bigger They Become: Tidal Trapping of Strings by Microstate Geometries

Kavli Affiliate: Emil J. Martinec | First 5 Authors: Emil J. Martinec, Nicholas P. Warner, , , | Summary: We consider the fate of a massless (or ultra-relativistic massive) string probe propagating down the BTZ-like throat of a microstate geometry in the D1-D5 system. Far down the throat, the probe encounters large tidal forces that […]

Probing the Nature of High Redshift Weak Emission Line Quasars: A Young Quasar with a Starburst Host Galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Irham Taufik Andika, Knud Jahnke, Masafusa Onoue, Eduardo BaƱados, Chiara Mazzucchelli | Summary: We present the discovery of PSO J083.8371+11.8482, a weak emission line quasar with extreme star formation rate at $z=6.3401$. This quasar was selected from Pan-STARRS1, UHS, and unWISE photometric data. Gemini/GNIRS spectroscopy follow-up […]
