摘要:

暗能量光谱仪(DESI)调查将使用类星体作为红移范围0.9&lt;z 2.1的暗物质的直接示踪剂来测量大尺度结构<2.1 and using Ly-alpha forests in quasar spectra at z>。我们提出了几种方法来选择候选类星体的DESI,使用输入测光成像在三个光学波段(g,r,z)从DESI的遗产成像调查和两个红外波段(W1,W2)从宽视场红外探测器(WISE)。这些方法在DESI调查验证期间得到广泛测试。在本文中,我们报告的结果与不同的方法,并提出了选择我们优化的DESI主要调查。最终的类星体目标选择基于随机森林算法,并选择星等范围为16.5&lt;r&lt;23的类星体。超深观测的视觉选择表明,主要的选择包括71%的类星体,16%的星系,6%的恒星和7%的不确定的光谱。使用基于这种选择的光谱,我们建立了一个自动化的类星体目录,在标称有效曝光时间约为1000秒的情况下,达到了&gt;99%的纯度。每平方米310美元。°的目标密度,主要选择允许DESI选择每平方米200多个QSO。°的(包括60个z&gt;2.1的类星体),超出项目要求20%。所选类星体的红移分布与类星体光度函数的预测非常吻合。

英文摘要:

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey will measure large-scale structures using quasars as direct tracers of dark matter in the redshift range 0.9<z<2.1 and using Ly-alpha forests in quasar spectra at z>2.1. We present several methods to select candidate quasars for DESI, using input photometric imaging in three optical bands (g, r, z) from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys and two infrared bands (W1, W2) from the Wide-field Infrared Explorer (WISE). These methods were extensively tested during the Survey Validation of DESI. In this paper, we report on the results obtained with the different methods and present the selection we optimized for the DESI main survey. The final quasar target selection is based on a Random Forest algorithm and selects quasars in the magnitude range 16.5<r<23. Visual selection of ultra-deep observations indicates that the main selection consists of 71% quasars, 16% galaxies, 6% stars and 7% inconclusive spectra. Using the spectra based on this selection, we build an automated quasar catalog that achieves a >99% purity for a nominal effective exposure time of ~1000s. With a 310 per sq. deg. target density, the main selection allows DESI to select more than 200 QSOs per sq. deg. (including 60 quasars with z>2.1), exceeding the project requirements by 20%. The redshift distribution of the selected quasars is in excellent agreement with quasar luminosity function predictions.
