Type 1 quasars in the COSMOS field. Open squares indicate objects that were spectroscopically confirmed by Trump et al. (2007) and are matched to objects in our photometric catalog. Large circles roughly indicate the area of maximal coverage by Trump et al. (2007). Crosses denote 51 photometric quasar candidates that were not cataloged by Trump et al. (2007). The 14 most robust ( good ⩾ 1 in this case) of these 51 candidates are additionally circled. Roughly, half are in regions covered by Trump et al. (2007) and, in principle, should have been found. Three of these are not in the COSMOS X-ray catalogs (Hasinger et al. 2007) and may be X-ray and radio-weak broad absorption line quasars.
