VizieR Online Data Catalog: Australian Dark Energy Survey (OzDES) quasar catalog (Tie+, 2017)

The Australian Dark Energy Survey (OzDES; Yuan et al. 2015MNRAS.452.3047Y) is a spectroscopic survey of the DES supernova fields using the AAOmega spectrograph (Smith et al. 2004SPIE.5492..410S) on the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT). The field of view of the AAT multi-object fiber-positioning system (Lewis et al. 2002MNRAS.333..279L) is well matched to DECam, making the AAT a well-suited spectroscopic follow-up instrument for DES. OzDES commenced observations at the same time as DES in 2013B and aims to measure redshifts for thousands of host galaxies of Type Ia supernovae and black hole masses for hundreds of AGNs and quasars (King et al. 2015MNRAS.453.1701K) using reverberation mapping (Blandford & McKee 1982ApJ...255..419B; Peterson 1993PASP..105..247P). The observing targets and results of OzDES observations are compiled into a spectroscopic catalog known as the Global Redshift Catalog (GRC). The GRC is updated after every OzDES observing season. In this work, we used the 2016 February version of the OzDES GRC. Here we present the OzDES Quasar Catalog of 1263 OzDES sources with M_i<-22 mag and i<22 mag that are spectroscopically confirmed quasars.
