Summary of predicted numbers of Euclid wide survey quasars in redshift bins, determined by integrating the QLF over the BMC and minimum-χ2 quasar selection functions.
| Redshift range | Euclid optical | Ground-based optical | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| k = −0.72 | k = −0.92 | k = −0.72 | k = −0.92 | |
| 7.0 < z < 7.5 | 87 (41) | 51 (24) | 204 (91) | 117 (52) |
| 7.5 < z < 8.0 | 20 (13) | 9 (6) | 45 (26) | 19 (11) |
| 8.0 < z < 8.5 | 11 (11) | 4 (4) | 16 (14) | 6 (5) |
| 8.5 < z < 9.0 | 6 (6) | 2 (2) | 7 (7) | 2 (2) |
Notes. Results are presented incorporating either Euclid or ground-based optical data, for two redshift evolutions of the QLF. Numbers from the minimum-χ2 model fitting are additionally given in brackets.
