Astronomy & Astrophysics, 614, Article L2. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201833363

We recently discovered that the luminous radio-quiet quasi-stellar objects (QSO) LBQS 0302–0019 at z = 3.286 is likely accompanied by an obscured AGN at 20 kpc projected distance, which we dubbed Jil. It represents the tightest candidate system of an... Read More about Cosmic dance at z ~ 3: Detecting the host galaxies of the dual AGN system LBQS 0302–0019 and Jil with HAWK-I+GRAAL.

Smith, B. M., Windhorst, R. A., Jansen, R. A., Cohen, S. H., Jiang, L., Dijkstra, M., …Silk, J. I. (2018). Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 Observations of Escaping Lyman Continuum Radiation from Galaxies and Weak AGN at Redshifts z ∼ 2.3–4.1. Astrophysical Journal, 853(2), Article 191. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aaa3dc

We present observations of escaping Lyman Continuum (LyC) radiation from 34 massive star-forming galaxies (SFGs) and 12 weak AGN with reliably measured spectroscopic redshifts at $z\simeq 2.3\mbox{--}4.1$. We analyzed Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wid...
