High-redshift SDSS-DR5 QSOs
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We identify a sample of 74 high-redshift quasars (z>3) with weak UV emission lines from the Fifth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and present infrared, optical, and radio observations of a subsample of four objects at z>4.
Description
These weak emission-line quasars (WLQs) constitute a prominent tail of the Ly{alpha}+NV equivalent width distribution, and we compare them to quasars with more typical emission-line properties and to low-redshift active galactic nuclei with weak/absent emission lines, namely BL Lac objects.
We find that WLQs exhibit hot (T~1000K) thermal dust emission and have rest-frame 0.1-5um spectral energy distributions that are quite similar to those of normal quasars. The variability, polarization, and radio properties of WLQs are also different from those of BL Lacs, making continuum boosting by a relativistic jet an unlikely physical interpretation.
