In this project, we compile a catalog of high-redshift (z>5.5) quasars candidates to be followed up by 4MOST as part of the Chilean survey “ChANGES” (Chilean AGN/Galaxy Extragalactic Survey). We use a selection based on available optical/NIR large-area sky surveys, and on a custom-made spectral energy distribution routine.
