Winds as the origin of radio emission in z = 2.5 radio-quiet extremely red quasars

HC Hwang, NL Zakamska… - Monthly Notices of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Most active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are radio quiet, and the origin of their radio emission is
not well understood. One hypothesis is that this radio emission is a byproduct of quasar …

Host galaxies of high-redshift extremely red and obscured quasars
