The Pan-STARRS1 z > 5.6 Quasar Survey. III. The z ≈ 6 Quasar Luminosity Function

We present the z ≈ 6 type-1 quasar luminosity function (QLF), based on the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) quasar survey. The PS1 sample includes 125 quasars at z ≈ 5.7–6.2, with −28 ≲ M _1450 ≲ −25. With the addition of 48 fainter quasars from the SHELLQs survey, we evaluate the z ≈ 6 QLF over −28 ≲ M _1450 ≲ −2...
