Quasars physical properties study based on the medium-band photometric survey

Abstract

The study is about the quasars cosmological evolution. We used the medium-band photometric survey at the 1-m Schmidt telescope of the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory. The HS47-22 field with an area of 2.38 square degrees has been selected. We have classified objects and composed a sample of quasars using broadband photometric data and morphological classification from the DECaLS survey, infrared photometry from the WISE survey, spectroscopy from the SDSS survey, ROSAT X-ray data, FIRST radio data and stellar parallax data from the GAIA survey. We have compiled a sample of 682 quasars, determined their photometric redshifts from the medium-band photometric data, and calculated the absolute stellar magnitudes. The space density of quasars was calculated for different luminosity ranges at different redshifts using the $\lambda$-CDM model with ${\Omega }_m=0.3$ and ${\Omega }_{\lambda }=0.7$. In this paper, we present the comparison of our results with other works.
