Physics

Scientific paper

The most distant known galaxies in the Universe are detected as quasars, which exhibit unusually luminous centers that are believed to be powered by massive black holes. A growing number of quasars are now known at redshifts z > 4, corresponding to an epoch when the Universe was less than 20% of its current size and age. This paper will present recent results from a program of optical (rest-frame ultraviolet) spectroscopy of z > 4 quasars conducted with the Multiple Mirror Telescope in Arizona. The results provide new insights into the small-scale structure of these energetic sources, as well as the evolution of the galaxies that host them.
