The discovery of a type-II quasar at z = 1.65 with integral-field spectroscopy

In this letter we report the serendipitous discovery of a genuine type-II quasar at z = 1.65 using integral-field data from VIMOS on the VLT. This is the first discovery of a type-II quasar at z > 1 from optical data alone. J094531-242831, hereafter J0945-2428, exhibits strong narrow (v &...
