Discovery of Two Gravitationally Lensed Quasars with Image Separations of 3 Arcseconds from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Masamune Oguri, Naohisa Inada, Joseph F. Hennawi +15
We report the discovery of two doubly-imaged quasars, SDSS J100128.61+502756.9 and SDSS J120629.65+433217.6, at redshifts of 1.838 and 1.789 and with image separations of 2.86'' an…
Candidate Type II Quasars from the SDSS: III. Spectropolarimetry Reveals Hidden Type I Nuclei
Nadia L. Zakamska, Gary D. Schmidt, Paul S. Smith +7
We have conducted spectropolarimetry of 12 type II (obscured) quasar candidates selected from the spectroscopic database of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey based on their emission lin…
X-rays from the First Massive Black Holes
W. N. Brandt, C. Vignali, B. D. Lehmer +3
We briefly review some recent results from Chandra and XMM-Newton studies of the highest redshift (z > 4) active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Specific topics covered include radio-quiet…
Optically identified BL Lacertae objects from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Matthew J. Collinge, Michael A. Strauss, Patrick B. Hall +12
We present a sample of 386 BL Lacertae (BL Lac) candidates identified from 2860 deg^2 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectroscopic database. The candidates are primarily se…
X-ray Insights Into Interpreting CIV Blueshifts and Optical/UV Continua
S. C. Gallagher, G. T. Richards, P. B. Hall +3
We present 0.5-8.0 keV Chandra observations of six bright quasars that represent extrema in quasar emission-line properties -- three quasars each with small and large blueshifts of…
The Third Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
K. Abazajian et al.
This paper describes the Third Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). This release, containing data taken up through June 2003, includes imaging data in five bands ov…
