High-Redshift QSOs in the SWIRE Survey and the z~3 QSO Luminosity Function (2007)

Abstract
We use a simple optical/infrared (IR) photometric selection of high-redshift QSOs that identifies a Lyman Break in the optical photometry and requires a red IR color to distinguish QSOs from common interlopers. The search yields 100 z~3 (U-dropout) QSO candidates with 19. Comment: Accepted for publication in ApJ. emulateapj format. 23 pages, 17 figures
