A unified model for the clustering of quasars and galaxies at $z\approx6$

Understand

Recent observations from the EIGER JWST program have measured for the first time the quasar-galaxy cross-correlation function at $z\approx6$.

• The auto-correlation function of faint $z\approx6$ quasars was also recently estimated.
• These measurements provide key insights into the properties of quasars and galaxies at high redshift and their relation with the host dark matter halos.
• In this work, we interpret these data building upon an empirical quasar population model that has been applied successfully to quasar clustering and demographic measurements at $z\approx2-4$.
