Description
The AERQS is a project aimed at the construction of an all-sky statistically well-defined sample of local (z < 0.3) and bright (R < 15.5) QSOs. Present uncertainties on the theoretical modeling of the QSO evolution are to be ascribed to the relatively small number of objects observed in this magnitude and redshift domain. We are filling this gap with a sample of 392 AGN covering all the sky at high Galactic latitude: we present here the Clustering analysis and the Luminosity Function of AGN at low redshift. The AERQS sets an important zero point about the properties of the local QSO population and the evolutionary pattern of QSOs between the present epoch and the highest redshift.
