Hello. I am a Senior Research Scientist at iTHEMS/RIKEN, interested in understanding the nature of black holes. As an astronomer, I have been working on both theoretical and observational astrophysics.

Our paper on the evolution of FSRQs is accepted by ApJ.

Title: Cosmological Evolution of FSRQs based on the Swift/BAT 105-month Catalog and Their Contribution to the Cosmic MeV Gamma-ray Background Radiation. Authors: Koyo Toda, Yasushi Fukazawa, Yoshiyuki Inoue We present a new X-ray luminosity function of flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) utilizing the latest Swift/BAT 105-month X-ray source catalog. Contrary to previous studies of FSRQs in the X-ray band, using the luminosity-dependent density evolution model, we find that FSRQs show evolutionary peaks at z∼1−2 depending on luminosities.
