The Extremely Luminous Quasar Survey in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey footprint. III. The South Galactic Cap Sample and the Quasar Luminosity Function at Cosmic Noon

Jan-Torge Schindler, Xiaohui Fan, Ian D. McGreer +11

We have designed the Extremely Luminous Quasar Survey (ELQS) to provide a highly complete census of unobscured UV-bright quasars during the cosmic noon, . Here we report…

The Discovery of A Luminous Broad Absorption Line Quasar at A Redshift of 7.02

Feige Wang, Jinyi Yang, Xiaohui Fan +18

Despite extensive efforts, only two quasars have been found at to date due to a combination of low spatial density and high contamination from more ubiquitous Galactic cool d…

Filling in the Quasar Redshift Gap at II: A Complete Survey of Luminous Quasars in the Post-Reionization Universe

Jinyi Yang, Feige Wang, Xiaohui Fan +10

We present the final results from our survey of luminous 5.5 quasars. This is the first systematic quasar survey focusing on quasars at 5.5, during the post-reio…

Exploring Reionization-Era Quasars III: Discovery of 16 Quasars at with DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys and UKIRT Hemisphere Survey and Quasar Luminosity Function at

Feige Wang, Jinyi Yang, Xiaohui Fan +22

This is the third paper in a series aims at finding reionzation-era quasars with the combination of DESI Legacy imaging Surveys (DELS) and near-infrared imaging surveys, such as th…

The Discovery of a Gravitationally Lensed Quasar at z = 6.51

Xiaohui Fan, Feige Wang, Jinyi Yang +17

Strong gravitational lensing provides a powerful probe of the physical properties of quasars and their host galaxies. A high fraction of the most luminous high-redshift quasars was…

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Sample Characterization

Yue Shen, Patrick B. Hall, Keith Horne +24

We present a detailed characterization of the 849 broad-line quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping (SDSS-RM) project. Our quasar sample covers a redshift…
