THE IDENTIFICATION OF z -DROPOUTS IN PAN-STARRS1: THREE QUASARS AT 6.5< z < 6.7
Luminous distant quasars are unique probes of the high-redshift intergalactic medium (IGM) and of the growth of massive galaxies and black holes in the early universe. Absorption due to neutral hydrogen in the IGM makes quasars beyond a redshift of z ≃ 6.5 very faint in the optical z band, thus loca...
