Abstract

Supplementary material to DESI's publication TITLE to comply with the data management plan. Data can be used to draw figures in articles. The files MyTable(Stripe82No4flags)***.fits and MyTable(Fall&SpringNo4flags)***.fits provide photometric information for three distinct datasets of point sources:(1) quasars,(2) stars or galaxies, and(3) point sources without any spectroscopic identification. These two files correspond to the deep region and the wide region, respectively, and are used to produce Figure~1 of the paper. The file my_boss_dr9qlf_sim***.fits contains the photometric information of simulated quasars and is used to generate Figure~2. The files MyStripe82P_array***.fits and MyFall&SpringP_array***.fits provide the quasar selection function data, which are used to produce Figures~3. The files MyStripe82QLF***.fits and MyFall&SpringQLF***.fits provide the quasar luminosity function (QLF) data, which are used to produce Figures~4 and~5. The file rho_data.csv contains the data for the cumulative density evolution of quasars and is used to produce Figure~6.
