Abstract
Astron.J. 121 (2001) 1232-1240 We report the discovery of 27 quasars with redshifts between 3.58 and 4.49.
The objects were identified as high-redshift candidates based on their colors
in Sloan Digital Sky Survey commissioning data. The redshifts were confirmed
with low resolution spectra obtained at the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. The
quasars' $i^*$ magnitudes range from 18.55 to 20.97. Nearly 60% of the quasar
candidates observed are confirmed spectroscopically as quasars. Two of the
objects are Broad Absorption Line quasars, and several other quasars appear to
have narrow associated absorption features.
