The Sdss-iv Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Quasar Target Selection
As part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) IV the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) will improve measurements of the cosmological distance scale by applying the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) method to quasar samples. eBOSS will adopt two approaches to target quasars over 7500 deg. First, a “CORE” quasar sample will combine the optical selection in ugriz using a li...
متن کاملDownsizing of supermassive black holes from the SDSS quasar survey
Starting from the quasar sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) for which the Civ line is observed, we use an analysis scheme to derive the z-dependence of the maximum mass of active black holes, which overcomes the problems related to the Malmquist bias. The same procedure is applied to the low redshift sample of SDSS quasars for which Hβ measurements are available. Combining with the r...
متن کاملQuasar Target Selection Fiber E ciency
We present estimates of the e ciency for nding QSOs as a function of limiting mag nitude and galactic latitude From these estimates we have formulated a target selection strategy that should net QSOs in the north galactic cap with an average of bers per plate not including bers reserved for high redshift quasars With this plan we expect of the targets to be QSOs The North Galactic Cap is divide...
متن کاملThe SDSS-XMM Quasar Sample: First Results
We have searched in the XMM-Newton public archive for quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) First Data Release (DR1), and found 55 lying in the field of a XMM-Newton observation with exposure times >20 ksec (as of August, 2004). The 35 quasars which yielded good X-ray spectra span redshifts from 0.5 to 2.5. The large collecting area of XMM-Newton allows us to investigate the dependence...
متن کاملSDSS-IV eBOSS emission-line galaxy pilot survey
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV extended Baryonic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (SDSS-IV/eBOSS) will observe 195 000 emission-line galaxies (ELGs) to measure the baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO) standard ruler at redshift 0.9. To test different ELG selection algorithms, 9000 spectra were observed with the SDSS spectrograph as a pilot survey based on data from several imaging surveys. Firs...
