Detecting and Characterizing Young Quasars. I. Systemic Redshifts and Proximity Zone Measurements

© 2020. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved. In a multiwavelength survey of 13 quasars at 5.8 ≲ z ≲ 6.5, which were preselected to be potentially young, we find five objects with extremely small proximity zone sizes that may imply UV-luminous quasar lifetimes of ≲100,000 yr. Proxi...
