Abstract

We propose GMOS spectroscopy to obtain redshifts for 27 bright QSOs identified using the combination of Gaia and WISE photometry. These QSO candidates, all of which have Gaia blue magnitudes 16.6 < GBP < 17.3 (AB), are selected using color cuts designed to isolate QSOs at z > 2. The proposed program will help us complete a census of z > 2 QSOs similar to these.
