This is the second installment for the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fibre Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) Quasar Survey, which includes quasars observed from September 2013 to June 2015. There are 9024 confirmed quasars in DR2 and 10911 in…

We present a catalog of over 130,000 quasars candidates with NIR photometric properties, with an areal coverage of approximately 1,200 deg^2. This is achieved by matching the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) in the optical ugriz bands, to…

We present the Data Release 4&5 quasar catalog from the quasar survey by Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), which includes quasars observed between September 2015 and June 2017. There are a total of 19,253…

We have used the VLA FIRST survey and the APM catalog of the POSS-I plates as the basis for constructing a new radio-selected sample of optically bright quasars. This is the first radio-selected sample that is competitive in size with…

We have compiled a catalog of optically-selected quasars with simultaneous observations in UV/optical and X-ray bands by the Swift Gamma Ray Burst Explorer. Objects in this catalog are identified by matching the Swift pointings with the…

We present a compilation of properties of the 105,783 quasars in the SDSS Data Release 7 (DR7) quasar catalog. In this value-added product, we compile continuum and emission line measurements around the Halpha, Hbeta, MgII and CIV regions,…

This automated catalogue combines all the largest published optical, radio and X-ray sky catalogues to find probable radio/X-ray associations to optical objects, plus double radio lobes, using uniform processing against all input data. The…

We report the fourth installment in the series of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) Quasar Survey, which includes quasars observed between September, 2017 and June, 2021. There are in total 13,066…

We present the quasar catalog from Data Releases 10 to 12 of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) Quasar Survey, comprising quasars observed between September 2021 and June 2024. We robustly identified…

We present the final Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV (SDSS-IV) quasar catalog from Data Release 16 of the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS). This catalog comprises the largest selection of spectroscopically confirmed…

We present a catalog of continuum and emission line properties for 750,414 broad-line quasars included in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 16 quasar catalog (DR16Q), measured from optical spectroscopy. These quasars cover broad…

We present a catalog of 1.4 million photometrically-selected quasar candidates in the southern hemisphere over the $\sim 5000\,{\rm deg^2}$ Dark Energy Survey (DES) wide survey area. We combine optical photometry from the DES second data…

We obtained medium-resolution spectra of 336 quasar candidates in the COSMOS HST/Treasury field using the MMT 6.5-meter telescope and the Hectospec multi-object spectrograph. Candidates were drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)…

We present the Data Release 9 Quasar (DR9Q) catalog from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III. The catalog includes all BOSS objects that were targeted as quasar candidates during the…

We present the final statistical sample of lensed quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Lens Search (SQLS). The well-defined statistical lens sample consists of 26 lensed quasars brighter than i=19.1 and in the redshift…

Quasars are very important in materializing the reference frame. The excess emission of AGNs (active galactic nuclei) in the mid infrared band can be used to identify quasar candidates. As extremely distant and point like objects, quasars…

The source catalogue for the LBQS and the FIRST Survey are compared in their regions of overlap. In the 270 deg^2 common to both surveys the LBQS contains \~100,000 stellar and ~40,000 non-stellar objects, while the FIRST catalogue contains…

The main goal of the FIRST-APM QSO Survey (FAQS) survey is to compile the most complete sample of Bright QSOs, located in the well optically investigated area of the sky covered by the Second Byurakan Survey (SBS). We do that through the…

We present measurements of the spectral properties for a total of 526,265 quasars, out of which 63% have continuum S/N$>3$ pixel$^{-1}$, selected from the fourteenth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-DR14) quasar catalog.…

Announcing the release v2 of the MORX (Millions of Optical-Radio/X-ray Associations) catalogue which presents probable (40%-100% likelihood) radio/X-ray associations, including double radio lobes, to optical objects over the whole sky.…
