Clustering of intermediate redshift quasars using the final SDSS III-BOSS sample
Abstract
In this study, we measure the two-point clustering of spectroscopically confirmed quasars from the final sample of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) on comoving scales of 4 ≲ s ≲ 22 h-1Mpc. The sample covers 6950 deg2 [~19 (h-1Gpc)3] and, over the redshift range 2.2 ≲ z ≲ 2.8, contains 55 826 homogeneously selected quasars, which is twice as many as in any similar work. We deduce bQ= 3.54 ± 0.10; the most precise measurement of quasar bias to date at these redshifts. This corresponds to a host halo mass of ~2 × 1012h-1M⊙ with an implied quasar duty cycle of ~1 per cent. The real-space projected correlation function is well fitted by a power law of index 2 and correlation length r0= (8.12 ± 0.22) h-1Mpc over scales of 4 ≲ rp ≲ 25 h-1Mpc. To better study the evolution of quasar clustering at moderate redshift, we extend the redshift range of our study to z ~ 3.4 and measure the bias and correlation length of three subsamples over 2.2 ≲ z ≲ 3.4. We find no significant evolution of r0 or bias over this range, implying that the host halo mass of quasars decreases somewhat with increasingmore »

We find quasar clustering remains similar over a decade in luminosity, contradicting a scenario in which quasar luminosity is monotonically related to halo mass at z ≈ 2.5. In conclusion, our results are broadly consistent with previous BOSS measurements, but they yield more precise constraints based upon a larger and more uniform data set.},
