Do all quasars have the same Black Hole Mass?

I shall describe the new ESO VST ATLAS imaging survey aimed at covering ~5000deg^2 of the Southern Sky to SDSS depths in ugriz. The survey has exploited the excellent imaging quality of the 2.6-m
VST telescope on its Paranal site with subarcsecond median seeing in griz and 1arcsec seeing in u. The survey is nearing completion and will soon be available for a wide variety of extragalactic and Galactic astronomy projects. I describe the science highlights so far, focussing on a redshift survey of 10000 faint quasars where we can measure their clustering out to z~2. We estimate quasar halo masses from the clustering and find that quasar halo mass has little dependence on luminosity.
We discuss whether this means that quasar black hole mass is independent of luminosity.

UKRI Deadlines

Due to the implementation of a new UKRI funding system (TFS) there will be a fixed quarterly deadlines for some grants which would previously have been on open calls, this is to allow necessary system amendments and updates.

The first deadline after implementation will be 28th September 2023 and applies to those calls listed below:

EPSRC New Investigator Award

EPSRC Network Grant

EPSRC Post Doctoral Fellowship

EPSRC Open Fellowship

EPSRC Open Plus Fellowship

EPSRC Working with overseas scientists

EPSRC Standard research grant

EPSRC Discipline hopping in ICT
