The DESI survey will measure large-scale structure using quasars as direct tracers of dark matter in the redshift range $0.9<z<2.1$ and using quasar Ly-$\alpha$ forests at $z>2.1$. We present two methods to select candidate quasars for DESI…

Millions of quasar spectra will be collected by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), leading to a four-fold increase in the number of known quasars. High accuracy quasar classification is essential to tighten constraints on…

Quasars can be used to measure baryon acoustic oscillations at high redshift, which are considered as direct tracers of the most distant large-scale structures in the Universe. It is fundamental to select quasars from observations before…
