Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1) Euclid spectroscopy of quasars. 2. Physical properties from spectral fitting

A substantial volume of spectroscopic data has become available with the Euclid Data Release (Q1), which represents a unique opportunity to study quasars (QSOs) in the Euclid Deep Fields, provide spectroscopic measurements, and estimates of their physical properties. We present results from a spectroscopic analysis of QSOs with HE < = 22.5 using Q1. We use external catalogues from surveys such as the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), Gaia, Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), and the QUasars as BRIght beacons for Cosmology in the Southern hemisphere (QUBRICS) for the QSO selection and redshift determination, totaling 5489 QSOs. We provide measurements of the line fluxes, full widths at half-maximum, and respective uncertainties for the emission lines of Euclid spectra based on fitting statistica and signal-to-noise ratio (S/N). Of the total 5489 QSOs, 5387 are successfully fitted. We find that 45% of the total number of successfully fitted spectra are free of problematic artefacts allowing for trustworthy measurements. Our final Euclid QSO sample spans a redshift range of 0.01 < = z < = 4.8 and shows a median spectral index of αλ = - 1.17. Finally, we estimate black hole masses with single epoch methods for 1213 sources, using the He I λ10830, Pa β, H α, H β, and Mg II emission lines, obtainning a mean logarithmc mass of log10 (MBH / Msolar) = 8.7 and mean Edigton ratio of λEdd = 0.34. The catalogue with the physical properties of this sample together with the software developed for the analysis is available online for scientific exploitation.
