Description
I will present our progress of quasar surveys in China, including LAMOST quasar survey, luminous high-redshift quasar survey and Galactic Plane background quasar survey. These surveys discovered more than 30k quasars at z=0-5, 100 quasars at z>5 and 1500 quasars behind the Galactic Plane respectively, and provided valuable database for studying changing-look quasars, supermassive black hole growth and astrometry reference frame. I will also introduce a catalog of 920k quasar candidate (CatSouth) selected in the Southern Hemisphere using data from SkyMapper, CatWISE and Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA), which may be helpful to future spectroscopic quasar surveys in Chile.
