Research paper thumbnail of A Search for Quasars at 5< z< 6 from a Large-Area BTC Multicolor Survey: Increasing the Survey Efficiency through Z Band Imaging

The primary targets are candidates for quasars at 5 < z < 6 and I < 22 chosen from VIZ imaging data. This allows for quasar selection to M_B < -24, providing a unique data set from which to calculate reliable quasar space densities and differentiate between different proposed forms of evolution in the quasar luminosity function at early epochs.

The Multi-mission Archive at Space Telescope (MAST) is in the process of developing a new portal aimed specifically at facilitating access to high-quality, comprehensive, multi-wavelength data and related search results. Our goal is to adapt and evolve in response to community
