Abstract

Spectrophotometric observations were made of 20 quasi-stellar objects having redshifts in the range z = 1.243.53. Continuum luminosities were calculated on the assumption that the redshifts are cosmological, and several features of the emission lines were tested as possible luminosity indicators. A strong correlation is found between the continuum luminosities and the equivalent widths of the emission lines, but it is not clear to what extent this may be a selection effect. Subject heading: quasars

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
