I'm trying to figure out how to modify the inputs (currently SDSS DR5 quasars with good photometry) into Joe's Monte Carlo. Here is what I have figured out so far (all the below files are on riemann):
hiz_kde_numerator.pro ;main program to generate the QSO Catalog
(calls) →
qso_fakephoto.pro ;generates simulated redshift and i-magnitude based on luminosity function and DR5 inputs
(calls) →
qso_photosamp.pro ;This generates the training set photometry
(calls) →
sdss_read_data.pro ;This reads in SDSS data it currently has the following 'DR5' call
qsos = sdss_read_data('DR5', Z_MIN = Z_MIN, Z_MAX = Z_MAX)
Here is a color-color redshift temperature plot of these DR5 QSOs:
I'm going to try to add in the BOSS QSOs with co-added photometry, especially in the redshift range z > 2.0 where we seem to be missing QSOs:
I found that there are 1,973 BOSS quasars that have a redshift above 2.0 for which we also have coadded photometry. Here they are plotted:
While it is a little more filled in in the u-g = 0.8 space, comparing it to all the BOSS quasars (regardless of how good their photometry is) below:
