quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Early Data Release
We have compiled a sample of 21 low redshift (z . 0.3), luminous active galactic nuclei (AGN) with large Balmer decrements (Hα/Hβ > 7) using the galaxy and QSO catalogs of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Early Data Release. Using this sample we attempt to determine the fraction of quasars with large internal absorption. We find that these AGN have Strong [O III] λ5007 and broad Hα emission, and th...
متن کاملExtreme BAL Quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has discovered a population of broad absorption line quasars with various extreme properties. Many show absorption from metastable states of Fe ii with varying excitations; several objects are almost completely absorbed bluewards of Mg ii; at 1
متن کاملDouble Lobed Radio Quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
We have combined a sample of 44 984 quasars, selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 3, with the FIRST radio survey. Using a novel technique where the optical quasar position is matched to the complete radio environment within 450, we are able to characterize the radio morphological make-up of what is essentially an optically selected quasar sample, regardless of whether ...
متن کاملAn Empirical Algorithm for Broad-band Photometric Redshifts of Quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
We present an empirical algorithm for obtaining photometric redshifts of quasars using 5-band Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometry. Our algorithm generates an empirical model of the quasar color-redshift relation, compares the colors of a quasar candidate with this model, and calculates possible photometric redshifts. Using the 3814 quasars of the SDSS Early Data Release (EDR) Quasar Cata...
متن کاملRadio-selected Quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
We have conducted a pilot survey for z > 3.5 quasars by combining the FIRST radio survey with the SDSS. While SDSS already targets FIRST sources for spectroscopy as quasar candidates, our survey includes fainter quasars and greatly improves the discovery rate by using strict astrometric criteria for matching the radio and optical positions. Our method allows for selection of high-redshift quasa...
