All Known Quasars with Redshift Greater Than 5.7

A continuously updated list of all quasars currently known with a redshift greater than 5.7, hosted on a dedicated webpage. The dataset is maintained by researchers and was last updated on February 10, 2022. It is published under a CC-BY-4.0 license by CERN and the European Commission.

Use Cases

• Study the evolution and distribution of quasars in the early universe based on the high-redshift criterion.
• Analyze the properties of luminous active galactic nuclei at high redshift.
• Train models to predict quasar characteristics from observational data.
• Benchmark new astronomical discoveries against the known population of high-redshift quasars.

Strengths

• Continuously updated, ensuring the list reflects the latest discoveries.
• Focuses on a specific, scientifically significant threshold of redshift > 5.7.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2022-02-10; freshness should be verified against the source webpage.
