Detecting and Characterizing Young Quasars. III. The Impact of Gravitational Lensing Magnification

We test the impact of gravitational lensing on the lifetime estimates of seven high-redshift quasars at redshift z ≳ 6. The targeted quasars are identified by their small observed proximity zone sizes, which indicate extremely short quasar lifetimes ( t _Q ≲ 10 ^5 yr). However, these estimates of qu...
