QSO luminosity function at z~4
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
The evolution of the quasar luminosity function (QLF) is one of the basic cosmological measures providing insight into structure formation and mass assembly in the universe.
Description
We have conducted a spectroscopic survey to find faint quasars (-26.0<M_1450_<-22.0) at redshifts z=3.8-5.2 in order to measure the faint end of the QLF at these early times. Using available optical imaging data from portions of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey and the Deep Lens Survey, we have color-selected quasar candidates in a total area of 3.76deg^2^.
Thirty candidates have R<=23mag. We conducted spectroscopic follow-up for 28 of our candidates and found 23 QSOs, 21 of which are reported here for the first time, in the 3.74<z<5.06 redshift range.
