Astronomers Find Dozens of New Bright Quasars
Astronomers from Seoul National University and others have discovered 62 new luminous quasars using the AllBRICQS survey, which utilizes WISE and Gaia data to identify bright quasars. These quasars, with redshifts between 0.09 and 2.48 and extremely high luminosities, include rare objects like the most luminous iron low-ionization broad absorption line quasar to date, providing valuable resources for studying black hole growth and galaxy evolution.
