Description

We have compiled additional properties for the SDSS-RM sample in several ancillary catalogs. Below are the notes on these supplemental catalogs. There are .readme files for each additional catalog. We also include the quality assurance plots for the global spectral fits.

QA-0000-56837.ps.gz The full set of 849 quality assessment plots for the global spectral fitting. Each plot includes a top panel showing the continuum (brown) and Fe II (blue) model components; the red line is the sum of the two. The cyan diamonds are pixels masked as absorption or bad pixels. The gray brackets near the top of the panel indicate the windows used for the continuum+Fe II fit. The bottom panels present the emission line fits for five line complexes.

allqso_sdssrm.fits A FITS table of all 1214 known quasars in the 7 square degree SDSS-RM field. Only 849 of them received a fiber in the SDSS-RM spectroscopy. This table lists the basic target information of these quasars.

QSObased_Expanded_SDSSRM_107.fits The narrow MgII/FeII absorber catalog for SDSS-RM quasars, following the methodology outlined in Zhu & Ménard (2013). Each entry corresponds to one quasar. The search for narrow absorbers includes systems that have absorber redshift close to the quasar systemic redshift (|dz|<0.04). MgII absorbers blueshifted from the quasar by dz>0.04 and also redward of CIV by dz>0.02 are of high purity. MgII absorbers with |dz|<0.04 or those at wavelength blueward of CIV, or those with FeII detection but no MgII detections (likely due to bad pixels), while included in this catalog, should be treated with caution, and may contain a small fraction of false positives (mainly CIV absorbers).

For convenience, we also provide a version of the absorber catalog organized by absorbers (Expanded_SDSSRM_107.fits), i.e., each entry corresponds to one absorber system.

rmqso32_aegis_multi_lambda.fits Multi-wavelength data compiled from Nandra et al. (2015) or 32 SDSS-RM quasars in the AEGIS field.

spitzer_seip_rm_match_1.5arcsec.fits Spitzer IRAC and MIPS data from the Spitzer Enhanced Imaging Products (SEIP) source list for 176 SDSS-RM quasars, with a matching radius of 1.5 arcseconds. This file also compiles infrared fluxes (if available) from 2MASS (Skrutskie et al. 2006).

spec_2014_BALrobust.csv List of 95 BALQSOs (including mini-BALQSOs) identified from the first-year coadded spectroscopy. This file includes BAL flags on CIV, AlIII, MgII, and FeII/FeIII. It also includes notes on individual objects.

PS1_MD07_LC_sdssrm.fits PS1 Medium Deep light curves for the SDSS-RM quasars used to compute PS1_NMAG_OK and PS1_RMS_MAG in the main catalog. Note this is the unofficial release of the PS1 MD07 data, which was approved by the PS1 collaboration. These photometric light curves may differ slightly from the final official release of the PS1 Medium Deep field data. 

Notes

Version 1 of this release is the finalized version concurrent with publication of the ApJS paper. Prior versions did not contain all the final catalogs.
