Journal Article
Yang, J., Wang, F., Fan, X., Wu, X., Bian, F., Bañados, E., …Dye, S. (2019). Filling in the Quasar Redshift Gap at z ∼ 5.5. II. A Complete Survey of Luminous Quasars in the Post-reionization Universe. Astrophysical Journal, 871(2), 199. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aaf858

We present the final results from our survey of luminous z ~ 5.5 quasars. This is the first systematic quasar survey focusing on quasars at z ~ 5.5, during the post-reionization epoch. It has been challenging to select quasars at 5.3 < z < 5.7 using... Read More about Filling in the Quasar Redshift Gap at z ∼ 5.5. II.
