A Survey of z > 5.7 Quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. IV. Discovery of Seven Additional Quasars
Open accessAbstract
We present the discovery of seven quasars at z > 5.7, selected from ∼2000 deg 2 of multicolor imaging data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The new quasars have redshifts z from 5.79 to 6.13. Five are selected as part of a complete flux-limited sample in the SDSS northern Galactic cap; two have larger photometric errors and are not part of the complete sample. One of the new quasars, SDSS J1335+3533 ( z = 5.93), exhibits no emission lines; the 3 σ limit on the rest-frame equivalent width of the Lyα+N V line is 5 Å. It is the highest redshift lineless quasar known and could be a gravitational lensed galaxy, a BL Lac object, or a new type of quasar. Two new z > 6 quasars, SDSS 1250+3130 ( z = 6.13) and SDSS J1137+3549 ( z = 6.01), show deep Gunn-Peterson absorption gaps in Lyα. These gaps are narrower than the complete Gunn-Peterson absorption troughs observed among quasars at z > 6.2 and do not have complete Lyβ absorption.

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.
