A spectroscopic survey of faint quasars in the SDSS deep stripe. I. Preliminary results from the co-added catalog. (2006)

Keywords : galaxies luminosity function, mass function - quasars: general - surveys

Abstract: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 selected from the deep data with good completeness over 0<z<5 and 2-3mag fainter than the SDSS main survey. Spectroscopic follow-up was carried out on the 6.5m MMT with Hectospec. The preliminary sample of this SDSS faint quasar survey (SFQS) covers ~3.9{deg}^2^, contains 414 quasars, and reaches g=22.5. ...(more)

The spectroscopic observations were carried out on the 6.5m MMT with Hectospec in 2004 June (run I) and 2004 November (run II).
