The z=5 Quasar Luminosity Function from SDSS Stripe 82
Ian D. McGreer, Linhua Jiang, Xiaohui Fan +12
We present a measurement of the Type I quasar luminosity function at z=5 using a large sample of spectroscopically confirmed quasars selected from optical imaging data. We measure…
Addressing Decadal Survey Science through Community Access to Highly Multiplexed Spectroscopy with BigBOSS on the KPNO Mayall Telescope
Caty Pilachowski, Carles Badenes, Stephen Bailey +87
This document summarizes the results of a community-based discussion of the potential science impact of the Mayall+BigBOSS highly multiplexed multi-object spectroscopic capability.…
The SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: The Quasar Luminosity Function from Data Release Nine
Nicholas P. Ross, Ian D. McGreer, Martin White +39
We present a new measurement of the optical Quasar Luminosity Function (QLF), using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III: Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (SDSS-III: B…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey quasar catalog: ninth data release
Isabelle Pâris, Patrick Petitjean, Eric Aubourg +73
We present the Data Release 9 Quasar (DR9Q) catalog from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III. The catalog includes all BOSS objec…
Near-Infrared Imaging of a z=6.42 Quasar Host Galaxy With the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3
Matt Mechtley, Rogier A. Windhorst, Russell E. Ryan +12
We report on deep near-infrared F125W (J) and F160W (H) Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 images of the z=6.42 quasar J1148+5251 to attempt to detect rest-frame near-ultra…
A UV Ultra-luminous Lyman Break Galaxy at Z=2.78 in NDWFS Bootes Field
Fuyan Bian, Xiaohui Fan, Linhua Jiang +7
We present one of the most ultraviolet (UV) luminous Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) (J1432+3358) at z=2.78, discovered in the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey (NDWFS) Bootes field. The R-b…
