Reduced spectra of the first set of eight quasars and possible quasars discovered in this work, displayed in decreasing order of redshift. The object name and the estimated redshift are indicated at the top left-hand corner of each panel. The blue dotted lines mark the expected positions of the Lyα and N v λ1240 emission lines, given the redshifts. The spectra were smoothed using inverse-variance weighted means over 3–9 pixels (depending on the S/N), for display purposes. The bottom panel displays a sky spectrum, as a guide to the expected noise. (Color online)
