| Title: |
Quasars from z=0 to z=6: Demographics and Clustering as Clues to their Physical Nature |
| Abstract: |
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has now discovered close to 100,000
quasars in a broad range of redshifts. I will discuss recent
results on several topics, including their clustering properties,
the nature of obscured quasars in the sample, the masses of the
black holes thought to be powering them, and the nature of the
highest redshift quasars known.
