Abstract:
We present the Data Release 9 Quasar (DR9Q) 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 survey, are spectroscopically confirmed
as quasars via visual inspection. This catalog contains 87,822 quasars
(78,086 are new discoveries) detected over 3,275deg^2^ with robust
identification and redshift measured by a combination of principal
component eigenspectra newly derived from a training set of 8,632
spectra from SDSS-DR7. The number of quasars with z>2.15 (61,931) is
2.8 times larger than the number of z>2.15 quasars previously known.
Redshifts and FWHMs are provided for the strongest emission lines
(CIV, CIII], MgII). The catalog identifies 7,533 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 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. We also provide a supplemental list of an
additional 949 quasars that have been identified, among galaxy targets
of the BOSS or among quasar targets after DR9 was frozen.
Description:
The SDSS-DR9 Quasar Catalog presents photometric and spectroscopic
properties of 87,822 quasars observed by the SDSS-III/BOSS survey. We
provide the catalog in the form of a fits file but also an ascii file.
We also provide a supplemental list containing 949 quasars with
exactly the same format as the main catalog.
