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…

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…

The clustering of intermediate redshift quasars as measured by the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey

Martin White, Adam D. Myers, Nicholas P. Ross +28

We measure the quasar two-point correlation function over the redshift range 2.2<z<2.8 using data from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. We use a homogeneous subset of t…
