Estimation of expected number of 5.5 < z < 6.5 quasars in the WEAVE-LOFAR, LoTSS, and EMU survey.
| Survey | Sky cov. | Flux lim. | Expected number counts |
|---|---|---|---|
| (deg2) | (mJy) | Full depth | |
| WL | 6500 | 8 | 610–760 |
| 650 | 0.8 | 180–200 | |
| LoTSS | 10 000 | 0.5 (*) | 3600–4000 |
| EMU | 15 000 | 0.1 (**) | 30 000–31 000 |
Notes.
The expected numbers are obtained from the full optical depth RLF (by integrating the blue line in Fig. 10) and corresponding survey parameters. The predicted ranges are based on the uncertainties of the UV LF and spectral index. In the case of the WEAVE-LOFAR number counts, the sources above 0.8 and 8 mJy will be targeted in the WL-wide and WL-mid tier respectively, but this does not guarantee that these will be robustly identified high-z sources due to their optical properties.
