Abstract (from CDS):

We present a sample of candidate quasars selected using the KX-technique. The data cover 0.68°2 of the X-ray Multi-Mirror (XMM) Large-Scale Structure (LSS) survey area where overlapping multi-wavelength imaging data permits an investigation of the physical nature of selected sources. The KX method identifies quasars on the basis of their optical (R and z') to near-infrared (Ks) photometry and point-like morphology. We combine these data with optical (u*,g',r',i',z') and mid-infrared (3.6-24µm) wavebands to reconstruct the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of candidate quasars. Of 93 sources selected as candidate quasars by the KX method, 25 are classified as quasars by the subsequent SED analysis. Spectroscopic observations are available for 12/25 of these sources and confirm the quasar hypothesis in each case. Even more, 90% of the SED-classified quasars show X-ray emission, a property not shared by any of the false candidates in the KX-selected sample. Applying a photometric redshift analysis to the sources without spectroscopy indicates that the 25 sources classified as quasars occupy the interval 0.7≤z≤2.5. The remaining 68/93 sources are classified as stars and unresolved galaxies.
