Comparison of z ~ 5 quasar luminosity functions when we include a type-2 quasar at z ~ 5.07. The red squares show our results when we include a type-2 quasar at z ~ 5.07. The black dashed and solid lines are the QLF reported by Fontanot et al. (2007), before and after correcting for the redshift difference between their study and ours (assuming pure density evolution, see the main text for details).
