Extreme Variability Quasars in Their Various States. II. Spectral Variation Revealed with Multiepoch Spectra

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We previously built a sample of 14,012 extremely variable quasars (EVQs) based on Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and Pan-STARRS1 photometric observations.

Discovery of Eight z ~ 6 Quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Overlap Regions

open access: yes, 2015
We present the discovery of eight quasars at z~6 identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) overlap regions. Individual SDSS imaging runs have some overlap with each other, leading to repeat observations over an area spanning >4000 deg^2 (more ...

A Synoptic, Multiwavelength Analysis of a Large Quasar Sample

open access: yes, 2005
We present variability and multi-wavelength photometric information for the 933 known quasars in the QUEST Variability Survey. These quasars are grouped into variable and non-variable populations based on measured variability confidence levels. In a time-

Prospects for Observing High-redshift Radio-loud Quasars in the SKA Era: Paving the Way for 21 cm Forest Observations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The 21 cm forest is a sensitive probe for the early heating process and small-scale structures during the epoch of reionization (EOR), to be realized with the upcoming Square Kilometre Array (SKA). Its detection relies on the availability of radio-bright

Clustering of Lyman-alpha Emitters Around Quasars at $z\sim4$

open access: yes, 2019
The strong observed clustering of $z>3.5$ quasars indicates they are hosted by massive ($M_{\rm{halo}}\gtrsim10^{12}\,h^{-1}\,\rm{M_{\odot}}$) dark matter halos.

A Pilot Study for the CSST Slitless Spectroscopic Quasar Survey Based on Mock Data

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The wide survey of the Chinese Space Station Telescope (CSST) will observe a large field of 17,500 deg ^2 . The GU, GV, and GI grism observations of CSST will cover the wavelength range from 2550 to 10000 Å at a resolution of R  ∼ 200 and a depth of ...

Cosmic Himalayas: The Highest Quasar Density Peak Identified in a 10,000 deg2 Sky with Spatial Discrepancies between Galaxies, Quasars, and IGM H i

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report the identification of a quasar overdensity in the BOSSJ0210 field, dubbed the Cosmic Himalayas, consisting of 11 quasars at z = 2.16−2.20, the densest overdensity of quasars (17 σ ) in the ∼10,000 deg ^2 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS ...

A search for quasar protoclusters at z greater than 4 [PDF]

open access: yes
In the CDM and many other hierarchical scenarios for the origins of large scale structure, the existence of luminous quasars at very high redshifts (z greater than 3 or 4) is difficult to understand, unless such objects form at the very highest peaks of ...
