Introduction 类星体（quasars） 2. Photometric redshifts of quasars in SDSS Sloan Digital Sky Survey I Photometry: ~3 x 108 objects Limiting magnitudes at the detection limit, S/N 5:1 Spectroscopy: 106 objects (106 galaxies; 105 quasars) Galaxies: r 17.77; Quasars: i 19.1 Only photometric redshifts for fainter objects Predicted magnitude and color of quasars Quasar spectrum f(?), SDSS transmission efficiency s(?) (u,g,r,i,z) Photometric redshift determinations Chi^2 minimization Using 4 colors for z3.6 and 3 colors for z3.6 (Ly? moves out of u band) Improvements on photo-z More composite quasar spectra Red quasars, BAL quasars, radio-loud/quiet … More photometric data in other bands UV(GALEX), near-IR(JHK), … VO application 3. How to find high-z quasars Separate quasars from stars Using quasar colors to select hi-z quasar candidates Spectroscopic identifications, usually with huge ground-based telescopes 4. Discussion BATC: Beijing-Arizona-Taipei-Connecticut Survey 60/90 Schmidt telescope 15 intermediate-band filters covering 3200-10000A FOV: 1 degree; limiting magnitude V~21 Surveyed area: 100 degree^2 * Originally discovered in radio survey (3C) in 1950s; first identified as star-like optical sources with emission lines in 1963; Maarten Schmidt (1963) realized the redshift of 3C 273 (z=0.158) First named simply as “quasi-stellar radio sources”, shorten to “quasars” by H.-Y. Chiu(邱宏义) (1964), accepted by ApJ in 1970 More than 100,000 discovered; the largest redshift is 6.4 (Fan(樊晓晖), et al. 2003) Maarten Schmidt 类星体3C 273的谱线红移量达到0.16 类星体光谱中有强而宽的未知发射线。 1963年Maarten Schmidt证认出它们实际上是红移了的H和其它元素的发射线。 Examples of quasars discovered with the largest optical telescope (2.16m) in China (Wu, Bade Beckmann 1999, AA, 347, 63) Spectra of three most distant quasars (Fan et
