The most Distant [OIII]-emitting Quasar PKS 1937-101 at redshift 3.8

Abstract

We report the discovery of a high-z quasar with unambiguous [OIII]5007 emission; PKS 1937-101 at redshift 3.8. This quasar, however, shows little evidence for rest-frame ultraviolet and optical FeII emission. It is thus shown that PKS 1937-101 does not belong to a class of super iron-rich high-z quasars reported by Elston, Thompson, & Hill (1994). The epoch of major star formation in the host galaxy is discussed briefly.Comment: 10 Latex (AASTeX) pages, 4 PostScript figures. To appear in Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japa
