# Hewett and Wild 2010, MNRAS, 405, 2302: "Improved redshifts for SDSS quasar spectra" # Redshifts for the sky-residual-corrected DR7-release spectra of the # extended quasar catalogue generated as described in Hewett and Wild 2010. # The sample of 107194 objects includes all # the quasars from Schneider et al. (2010, AJ, 139, 2360) and an additional sample # of ~1200 objects, most of which possess redshift z>0.4 but fail the # Schneider et al. "broad emission line" definition. # The material is effectively an extended version of Table 4 from the Hewett & Wild 2010 # paper for the larger sample of DR7 quasars using the DR7 Legacy Release spectra. # Col. 1: SDSS object name # Col. 2: Right ascension J2000 (decimal degrees) # Col. 3: Declination J2000 (decimal degrees) # Col. 4: Redshift estimate # Col. 5: Redshift error [actual z_err rather than dz/(1+z) in the MNRAS Table 4 DR6 version] # Col. 6: FIRST Detection status (1 detected; -1 not-detected; 0 outside FIRST footprint) # Col. 7: Alternate redshift for objects with Col. 6 code = 1 or 0 and # cross-correlation redshift estimate > 1.10 # Col. 8: Redshift estimation method code (1 [OIII]; 2 [OII]; # 3 MgII_cc; 4 CIII]_cc; 5 CIV_cc; 6 extra_cc; 7 Schneider et al. 2010) # Col. 9: SDSS spectroscopic plate # Col. 10: SDSS MJD of spectroscopic observation # Col. 11: SDSS spectroscopic fibre number # Col. 12: Composite spectrum flag (0 single spectrum used as specified via Cols. 9/10/11, # 1 coadded spectrum used) # Col. 13: Schneider et al. (2010) quasar catalogue flag (2 in Table 2; 1 in Table 5; 0 extra object; # 3 added by PBH)
