摘要:

南银帽$u$波段巡天(SCUSS)提供了南银帽大约5000度$^2$的深$u$波段图像.它比SDSS $u$带深约1.5等。在本文中,我们评估的能力,选择使用SCUSS和SDSS数据的基础上,考虑深SCUSS $u$波段成像和两个历元$u$波段的变化。我们发现,SCUSS $u$ -带和SDSS $griz$带的组合使我们能够选择更多的暗类星体和更多的红移在2.2左右的类星体,而不是只选择SDSS $ugriz$数据。类星体具有显著的$u$波段变化。类星体中具有大的两历元变率的比例远高于恒星。通过光变的选择可以选择具有紫外线过量的低红移类星体和中等红移($2 < z <3.5$)类星体,其中通过光学颜色选择类星体是低效的。上述两种选择是互补的,充分利用了SCUSS U波段的优势。

英文摘要:

The South Galactic Cap $u$-band Sky Survey (SCUSS) provides a deep $u$-band imaging of about 5000 deg$^2$ in south Galactic cap. It is about 1.5 mag deeper than the SDSS $u$-band. In this paper we evaluate the capability of quasar selection using both SCUSS and SDSS data, based on considerations of the deep SCUSS $u$-band imaging and two-epoch $u$-band variability. We find that the combination of the SCUSS $u$-band and the SDSS $griz$ band allows us to select more faint quasars and more quasars at redshift around 2.2 than the selection only with the SDSS $ugriz$ data. Quasars have significant $u$-band variabilities. The fraction of quasars with large two-epoch variability is much higher than that of stars. The selection by variability can select both low-redshift quasars with ultraviolet excess and mid-redshift ($2 < z <3.5$) quasars where quasar selection by optical colors is inefficient. The above two selections are complementary and make full use of the SCUSS u-band advantages.
