High-redshift QSOs in the SWIRE survey
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We use a simple optical/infrared (IR) photometric selection of high-redshift QSOs that identifies a Lyman break in the optical photometry and requires a red IR color to distinguish QSOs from common interlopers.
Description
The search yields 100 z~3 (U-dropout) QSO candidates with 19<r'<22 over 11.7deg^2^ in the ELAIS-N1 (EN1) and ELAIS-N2 (EN2) fields of the Spitzer Wide-area Infrared Extragalactic (SWIRE) Legacy Survey. The z~3 selection is reliable, with spectroscopic follow-up of 10 candidates confirming that they are all QSOs at 2.83<z<3.44.
We find that our z~4 (g'-dropout) sample suffers from both unreliability and incompleteness but present seven previously unidentified QSOs at 3.50<z<3.89.
