The Extremely Luminous Quasar Survey (ELQS) in the SDSS footprint I.: Infrared Based Candidate Selection
Jan-Torge Schindler, Xiaohui Fan, Ian. D. McGreer +4
Studies of the most luminous quasars at high redshift directly probe the evolution of the most massive black holes in the early Universe and their connection to massive galaxy form…
Quasar Photometric Redshifts and Candidate Selection: A New Algorithm Based on Optical and Mid-Infrared Photometric Data
Qian Yang, Xue-Bing Wu, Xiaohui Fan +8
We present a new algorithm to estimate quasar photometric redshifts (photo-s), by considering the asymmetries in the relative flux distributions of quasars. The relative flux mo…
Mapping the Lyman-Alpha Emission Around a z~6.6 QSO with MUSE: Extended Emission and a Companion at Close Separation
Emanuele P. Farina, Bram P. Venemans, Roberto Decarli +7
We utilize the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) to search for extended Lyman-Alpha emission around the z~6.6 QSO J0305-3150. After careful…
The UKIRT Hemisphere Survey: Definition and J-band Data Release
S. Dye, A. Lawrence, M. A. Read +23
This paper defines the UK Infra-Red Telescope (UKIRT) Hemisphere Survey (UHS) and release of the remaining ~12,700 sq.deg of J-band survey data products. The UHS will provide conti…
Clustering of quasars in SDSS-IV eBOSS : study of potential systematics and bias determination
Pierre Laurent, Sarah Eftekharzadeh, Jean-Marc Le Goff +21
We study the first year of the eBOSS quasar sample in the redshift range which includes 68,772 homogeneously selected quasars. We show that the main source of systemati…
High Lyman Continuum Escape Fraction in a Lensed Young Compact Dwarf Galaxy at
Fuyan Bian, Xiaohui Fan, Ian McGreer +2
We present the HST WFC3/F275W UV imaging observations of A2218-Flanking, a lensed compact dwarf galaxy at redshift . The stellar mass of A2218-Flanking is $\log(M/M_{\…
