This is the second paper in a series on a new luminous z ~ 5 quasar survey using optical and near-infrared colors. Here we present a new determination of the bright end of the quasar luminosity function (QLF) at z ~ 5. Combined our 45 new…
We present a measurement of the quasar luminosity function in the range 0.68<z<4 down to extinction corrected magnitude g_dered=22.5, using a simple and well understood target selection technique based on the time-variability of quasars.…
We present a well-designed sample of more than 1000 type 1 quasars at $3.5<z<5$ and derive UV quasar luminosity functions (QLFs) in this redshift range. These quasars were selected using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) imaging data in…
In this paper we present the first results of a deep spectroscopic survey of faint quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Southern Survey, a deep survey carried out by repeatedly imaging a 270 deg^2 area. Quasar candidates were…
We combine the QSO samples from the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ) and the 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO Survey (2SLAQ) in order to investigate the clustering of z~1.4 QSOs and measure the correlation function. The clustering signal in z-space,…
We present the quasar luminosity function at $z \sim 5$ derived from the optical wide-field survey data obtained as a part of the Subaru strategic program (SSP) with Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC). From $\sim$81.8 deg$^2$ area in the Wide layer of…
We present a clustering analysis of QSOs using over 20000 objects from the final catalogue of the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ), measuring the z-space correlation function, xi(s). When averaged over the range 0.3<z<2.2 we find that xi(s) is…
We obtain a sample of 87 radio-loud QSOs in the redshift range 3.6<z<4.4 by cross-correlating sources in the FIRST radio survey S{1.4GHz} > 1 mJy with star-like objects having r <20.2 in SDSS Data Release 7. Of these 87 QSOs, 80 are…
We present a sample of 17 high-redshift (3.5<z<5.2) QSO candidates in the 320 sq.arcmin area of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey, selected in the magnitude range 22.45<z_{850}<25.25 using deep imaging with the Advanced Camera for…
We use a simple optical/infrared (IR) photometric selection of high-redshift QSOs that identifies a Lyman Break in the optical photometry and requires a red IR color to distinguish QSOs from common interlopers. The search yields 100 z~3…
We present an analysis of the small-to-intermediate scale clustering of samples of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO (2SLAQ) survey carefully matched to have the same rest-frame…
This is the fourth paper in a series aimed at finding high-redshift quasars from five-color imaging data taken along the Celestial Equator by the SDSS. during its commissioning phase. In this paper, we use the color-selected sample of 39…
We present progress results of a new survey for bright QSOs (V<14.5, R<15.4, B_J<15.2) covering the whole sky at high galactic latitudes, |b|>30. The surface density of QSOs brighter than B_J=14.8 turns out to be 2.9 +- 0.8 10^{-3}…
We present a spectroscopic survey of almost 15,000 candidate intermediate-redshift Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) brighter than i=19.8, observed with 2dF on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. The targets were selected photometrically from the…
Luminosity functions and their integrated luminosity densities are presented for the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS). This ongoing survey ultimately aims to measure around 150,000 redshifts and 15,000 peculiar velocities over almost the entire…
We present the J-band luminosity function of 1838 mid-infrared and X-ray selected AGNs in the redshift range 0<z<5.85. These luminosity functions are constructed by combining the deep multi-wavelength broad-band observations from the UV to…
We present the discovery of nine quasars at $z\sim6$ identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) imaging data. This completes our survey of $z\sim6$ quasars in the SDSS footprint. Our final sample consists of 52 quasars at…
This paper presents the first results of a survey for bright quasars (V < 14.5 and R<15.4) covering the North Hemisphere at galactic latitudes |b|>30. The photometric database is derived from the GSC and USNO catalogs. Quasars are…
We search for ultra-luminous Quasi-Stellar Objects (QSOs) at high redshift using photometry from the SkyMapper Southern Survey Data Release 3 (DR3), in combination with 2MASS, VHS DR6, VIKING DR5, AllWISE, and CatWISE2020, as well as…
We present the first measurement of the faint end of the QSO luminosity function at z=3. The QSOs, which range from M_1450 = -21 to M_1450 = -27, were discovered in 17 fields totaling 0.43 deg^2 using multicolor selection criteria (the…
