Quasars from LSST as dark energy tracers: first steps

Understand

In the near future, new surveys promise a significant increase in the number of quasars (QSO) at large redshifts.

• This will help to constrain the dark energy models using quasars.
• The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will cover over 10 million QSO in six photometric bands during its 10-year run.
• QSO will be monitored and subsequently analyzed using the photometric reverberation mapping (RM) technique.
