Searches for Quasars at z> 5
Quasars continue to be the most luminous objects known in the universe but no longer have the largest redshifts. I review current techniques for finding quasars at z > 5 and the status of current optical surveys. I compare the spectra of known quasars with z ≈ 5 with the spectra of some recently discovered galaxies with z > 5 to see what we may expect in the future from surveys for high redshif...
متن کاملBinary Quasars at High Redshift Ii: Sub-mpc Clustering at Z ∼ 3 − 4
We present measurements of the small-scale (0.1 . r . 1 h−1Mpc) quasar two-point correlation function at z > 2.9, for a flux-limited (i < 21) sample of 15 binary quasars compiled by Hennawi et al. (2009). The amplitude of the small-scale clustering increases from z ∼ 3 to z ∼ 4. The small-scale clustering amplitude is comparable to or lower than power-law extrapolations (with slope γ = 2) from ...
متن کاملBinary Quasars at High Redshift I : 24 New Quasar Pairs at Z ∼ 3 − 4
The clustering of quasars on small scales yields fundamental constraints on models of quasar evolution and the buildup of supermassive black holes. This paper describes the first systematic survey to discover high redshift binary quasars. Using color-selection and photometric redshift techniques, we searched 8142 deg of SDSS imaging data for binary quasar candidates, and confirmed them with fol...
متن کاملVlba Observations of Z > 4 Radio-loud Quasars
We present high resolution (≤ 20 mas) observations of the radio continuum emission at 1.4 GHz from three high-redshift quasars: J1053−0016 (z = 4.29), 1235−0003 (z = 4.69), and J0913+5919 (z = 5.11), thereby doubling the number of z > 4 radio-loud quasars that have been imaged at mas resolution. The observations were carried out with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) of the NRAO. All three so...
متن کاملA search for distant radio-loud quasars in the CLASS survey: three new radio-selected quasars at z>4
We report on the search for distant radio-loud quasars in the Cosmic Lens All Sky Survey (CLASS) of flat spectrum radio sources with S5GHz > 30 mJy. Unresolved optical counterparts were selected from APM scans of POSS-I plates, with e < 19.0 and red o−e > 2.0 colours, in an effective area of ∼ 6400 deg. Four sources were found to be quasars with z > 4, of which one was previously known. This sa...
