VizieR Online Data Catalog: Astrometrically-selected QSO candidates (Heintz+, 2020)

We present a spectroscopically complete sample of quasar candidates, which have been identified purely from their apparent zero proper motion on the sky. The targets were extracted from the Gaia-DR2 catalogue, and we find a total of 104 sources to be brighter than G=20mag within a 3.14 square degree survey area around the NGP. Based on spectroscopic data of the full set of candidates, we classified 63 of the sources as quasars and 41 as stars.
