SDSS u*g*r*i*z* photometry and redshift of QSOs

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present data for over 100 high-redshift quasars found in ~700deg^2^ by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), using automated selection algorithms applied to SDSS imaging data and with spectroscopic confirmation obtained during routine spectroscopic observations by the Sloan 2.5 m telescope.

Description

The SDSS spectra cover the wavelength range 3900-9200{AA}E at a spectral resolution of 1800 and have been obtained for 116 quasars with redshifts greater than 3.94; 92 of these objects were previously uncatalogued, significantly increasing the current list of published z>4 quasars.

The paper also reports observations of seven additional new z>4 quasars; all were selected from the SDSS imaging survey and spectroscopically confirmed with observations by the Apache Point Observatory's 3.5 m telescope or the Hobby-Eberly Telescope.
