Five New High-Redshift Quasar Lenses from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Naohisa Inada, Masamune Oguri, Min-Su Shin +7

We report the discovery of five gravitationally lensed quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). All five systems are selected as two-image lensed quasar candidates from a…

The FIRST-2MASS Red Quasar Survey II: An anomalously high fraction of LoBALs in searches for dust-reddened quasars

Tanya Urrutia, Robert H. Becker, Richard L. White +4

We present results on a survey to find extremely dust-reddened Type-1 Quasars. Combining the FIRST radio survey, the 2MASS Infrared Survey and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we have…

The Environments of Low and High Luminosity Radio Galaxies at Moderate Redshifts

M. W. Auger, R. H. Becker, C. D. Fassnacht

In the local Universe, high-power radio galaxies live in lower density environments than low-luminosity radio galaxies. If this trend continues to higher redshifts, powerful radio…

A Survey of z~6 Quasars in the SDSS Deep Stripe: I. a Flux-Limited Sample at z_{AB}<21

Linhua Jiang, Xiaohui Fan, James Annis +9

We present the discovery of five quasars at z~6 selected from 260 deg^2 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) southern survey, a deep imaging survey obtained by repeatedly scannin…

Radio AGN in 13,240 galaxy clusters from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Steve Croft, Wim de Vries, Robert H. Becker

We correlate the positions of 13,240 Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) with 0.1 <= z <= 0.3 from the maxBCG catalog with radio sources from the FIRST survey to study the sizes and…

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Lens Search. II. Statistical Lens Sample from the Third Data Release

Naohisa Inada, Masamune Oguri, Robert H. Becker +31

We report the first results of our systematic search for strongly lensed quasars using the spectroscopically confirmed quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Among 46,420…
