The active galaxy luminosity function fits nicely onto the higherredshift quasar luminosity function.
n Very few high-luminosity Type II quasars are known. Essentially all high-luminosity objects show broad lines. n If the unification model is correct, then Type II quasars must exist at high luminosity. Characteristics: n Characteristics: n Weak or absent non-thermal continuum n Strong narrow high-ionization emission lines n So we went to look for such objects in SDSS!
