Abstract:
We present the Data Release 10 Quasar (DR10Q) catalog from the Baryon
Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) of the Sloan Digital Sky
Survey III. The catalog includes all BOSS objects that were targeted
as quasar candidates during the first 2.5 years of the survey and that
are confirmed as quasars via visual inspection of the spectra, have
luminosities Mi[z=2]<-20.5 (in a LCDM cosmology with H_0_=70km/s/Mpc,
Om=0.3, and Ol=0.7), and either display at least one emission line
with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) larger than 500km/s or, if
not, have interesting/complex absorption features. The catalog also
includes known quasars (mostly from SDSS-I and II) that were
reobserved by BOSS. The catalog contains 166,583 quasars (74,454 are
new discoveries since SDSS-DR9) detected over 6,373deg^2^ with robust
identification and redshift measured by a combination of principal
component eigenspectra. The number of quasars with z>2.15 (117,668) is
5 times greater than the number of z>2.15 quasars known prior to
BOSS. Redshifts and FWHMs are provided for the strongest emission
lines (CIV, CIII, MgII). The catalog identifies 16,461 broad
absorption line quasars and gives their characteristics. For each
object, the catalog presents five-band (u, g, r, i, z) CCD-based
photometry with typical accuracy of 0.03mag and information on the
optical morphology and selection method. The catalog also contains
X-ray, ultraviolet, near- infrared, and radio emission properties of
the quasars, when available, from other large-area surveys. The
calibrated digital spectra cover the wavelength region
3,600-10,500AA at a spectral resolution in the range 1,300<R<2,500;
the spectra can be retrieved from the SDSS Catalog Archive Server. We
also provide a supplemental list of an additional 2,376 quasars that
have been identified among the galaxy targets of the SDSS-III/BOSS.
Description:
The SDSS-DR10 Quasar Catalog presents photometric and spectroscopic
properties of 166,583 quasars observed by the SDSS-III/BOSS survey. We
provide the catalog in the form of both a fits and an ascii file. We
also provide a supplemental list containing 2,376 quasars with exactly
the same format as the main catalog.
The superset from which we derive the SDSS-DR10 quasar catalog is also
provided in ascii and fits files.
