Discovery of 16 new z ∼ 5.5 quasars: filling in the redshift gap of quasar color selection

Discovery of 16 new z ∼ 5.5 quasars: filling in the redshift gap of quasar color selection

We present initial results from the first systematic survey of luminous z ∼ 5.5 quasars. Quasars at z ∼ 5.5, the post-reionization epoch, are crucial tools to explore the evolution of intergalactic medium, quasar evolution, and the early super-massive black hole growth. However, it has been very cha...
