Quasar photometric redshifts beyond the spectroscopic coverage: Uncertainty models and redshift distributions in the Kilo-Degree Survey DR5

Kacper Drabicki, Szymon J. Nakoneczny, Maciej Bilicki

Photometric redshifts (photo-) and their distributions underpin cosmology with photometric quasars, tracers in angular clustering and cross-correlations. Progress requires trust…

The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey: VII. Third Data Release

T. W. Shimwell, M. J. Hardcastle, C. Tasse +99

We present the third data release of the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS-DR3). The survey images cover 88% of the northern sky and were created from 12,950 hrs of data (18.6 PB)…

QZO: A Catalog of 5 Million Quasars from the Zwicky Transient Facility

S. J. Nakoneczny, M. J. Graham, D. Stern +11

Machine learning methods are well established in the classification of quasars (QSOs). However, the advent of light curve observations adds a great amount of complexity to the prob…

Flux dependence of redshift distribution and clustering of LOFAR radio sources

Nitesh Bhardwaj, Dominik J. Schwarz, Catherine L. Hale +10

In this work we study the flux density dependence of the redshift distribution of low-frequency radio sources observed in the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) deep fields and app…

: An Accurate Photometric Classifier for Tidal Disruption Events

Robert Stein, Ashish Mahabal, Simeon Reusch +12

Optical surveys have become increasingly adept at identifying candidate Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) in large numbers, but classifying these generally requires extensive spectros…
