Area of Science:

  • Astronomy and Astrophysics
  • Cosmology

Background:

  • Accurate redshift determination is crucial for understanding quasar properties and cosmic evolution.
  • Existing methods often rely heavily on precise spectral line extraction, limiting their applicability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel and robust method for quasar redshift determination.
  • To overcome the limitations of spectral line matching methods.

Main Methods:

  • Initial redshift candidates derived from extracted emission line information.
  • Template spectra are systematically redshifted to match observed quasar spectra.
  • Correlation analysis identifies the best-fit redshift by maximizing spectral and template similarity.

Main Results:
