The First Identification of Lyα Changing-look Quasars at High Redshift in DESI

The First Identification of Lyα Changing-look Quasars at High Redshift in DESI

We present two cases of Ly α changing-look (CL) quasars (J1306 and J1512) along with two additional candidates (J1511 and J1602), all discovered serendipitously at z  > 2 through the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. It is the first time to capture CL events i...
