The quest for binary and dual supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the dawn of the multi-
messenger era is compelling. Detecting dual active galactic nuclei (AGN)–active SMBHs at …

We present an evolutionary model for starbursts, quasars, and spheroidal galaxies in which
mergers between gas-rich galaxies drive nuclear inflows of gas, producing starbursts and …

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS; York et al. 2000) started observations in 1998 and has
completed three different phases. The data collected includes optical imaging of most of the …

We develop a model for the cosmological role of mergers in the evolution of starbursts,
quasars, and spheroidal galaxies. By combining theoretically well-constrained halo and …

We present the fifth edition of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Catalog, which is
based upon the SDSS Seventh Data Release. The catalog, which contains 105,783 …

We present a study of the [C ii] 158 μm line and underlying far-infrared (FIR) continuum
emission of 27 quasar host galaxies at z∼ 6, traced by the Atacama Large Millimeter …

The study of the dynamical evolution of massive black hole pairs in mergers is crucial in the
context of a hierarchical galaxy formation scenario. The timescales for the formation and the …

Comprehensive wide-field imaging and spectroscopic surveys of the sky have played a key
role in astronomy, leading to fundamental new breakthroughs in our understanding of the …

We present measurements of the spectral properties for a total of 526,265 quasars, out of
which 63% have a continuum signal-to-noise ratio> 3 pixel− 1, selected from the fourteenth …

We present the data release 14 Quasar catalog (DR14Q) from the extended Baryon
Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV (SDSS-IV) …
