The Lyman alpha forest opacity and the metagalactic hydrogen ionization rate at z~ 2-4 (2004, methodology): “The rates are based on the QSO optical luminosity function of Boyle et al. (2000), with a redshift evolution similar to that of MHR99, aside from a steeper evolution for z > 3 to fit data from the SDSS survey (Fan et al. 2001).”
Local supermassive black holes, relics of active galactic nuclei and the X-ray background (2003, methodology): “The luminosity functions by Boyle et al. (2000) and Miyaji, Hasinger, & Schmidt (2000) are in rough agreement at the high L end, meaning that they may be sampling the same quasar population.”
Quasars, their host galaxies and their central black holes (2001, methodology): “7GHz > 1 × 10 25 WHz−1sr−1 has risen to ≃ 1 × 10−6 Mpc−3 (Dunlop & Peacock 1990) while that of optically-selected quasars brighter than MV = −23 is ≃ 5 × 10−6 Mpc−3 (Warren, Hewett & Osmer 1995, Boyle et al. 2000).”
An Observational Determination of the Bolometric Quasar Luminosity Function (2006, background): “Some measured QLFs do not appear in this compilation (e.g., Boyle et al. 2000), as updated versions from the same or expanded samples exist (e.g., Croom et al. 2004).”

The Cosmic Evolution of Hard X-Ray-selected Active Galactic Nuclei (2004, methodology): “Yu & Tremaine used the optical QSO luminosity function of Boyle et al. (2000), which found a faintend slope of 1.58, whereas a more recent determination by Croom et al. (2004) finds a shallower slope of 1.09.”
The HELLAS2XMM Survey. VII. The Hard X-Ray Luminosity Function of AGNs up to z = 4: More Absorbed AGNs at Low Luminosities and High Redshifts (2005, background): “Although formally acceptable, zc ¼ 1:08þ0:08 0:06 is significantly smaller than the previous estimates for the evolution of AGN1’s in hard X-rays (zc ¼ 2:4 0:5; La Franca et al. 2002) and in the optical band (zc 2:0; see, e.g., Boyle et al. 2000).”
THE SDSS-III BARYON OSCILLATION SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY: THE QUASAR LUMINOSITY FUNCTION FROM DATA RELEASE NINE (2012, background): “Boyle et al. (2000) and Croom et al. (2004) found that the QLF measured in the 2dF Quasar Redshift Survey (2QZ, Croom et al. 2004) was well fit by a pure luminosity evolution model where Φ (M) ∗ was constant but M∗ evolved with redshift.”
Selection Bias in Observing the Cosmological Evolution of the M•-σ and M•-L Relationships (2007, positive): “To illustrate the application of this result, we adopt the quasar luminosity function from Boyle et al.

The cosmic star formation rate and clustering at z= 2.23 (2008, background): “…era in the evolution of many populations: optical QSO activity (which should be linked to the growth of super-massive black holes) peaks at this epoch (Boyle et al. 2000), as does the luminosity density in bright submilli etre galaxies – thought to represent an early phase in the formation of…”
CLUSTERING OF LOW-REDSHIFT (z ⩽ 2.2) QUASARS FROM THE SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY (2008, methodology): “…1000 deg2) surveys with efficient selection techniques, these limitations have been overcome, and the number of known quasars has increased by more than an order of magnitude in the last decade, thanks mainly to the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ; Boyle et al. 2000; Croom et al. 2004) and the SDSS.”
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: spectra and redshifts (2001, methodology): “The adaptive tiling algorithm also needed to cope with the requirement that the galaxy redshift survey be merged with the concurrent survey of QSO candidates (the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey: Boyle et al. 2000; Croom et al. 2001).”
Constraining the Lifetime of Quasars from Their Spatial Clustering (2000, result): “Nevertheless, it is interesting to contrast the results of the previous section with preliminary results from the already relatively large, homogeneous sample of high–redshift quasars in the 2dF survey (Boyle et al. 2000).”
A Unified, Merger-driven Model of the Origin of Starbursts, Quasars, the Cosmic X-Ray Background, Supermassive Black Holes, and Galaxy Spheroids (2005, background): “Our best-fit value ofkL = 5.6 compares favorably to the value∼ 6 found by e.g. Boyle et al. (2000) and Croom et al. (2004) for the evolution of the break luminosity in the observed luminosity function, demonstrating that the break luminosity traces thepeakin the ṅ(Lpeak) distribution at all…”
DISCOVERY OF THREE z > 6.5 QUASARS IN THE VISTA KILO-DEGREE INFRARED GALAXY (VIKING) SURVEY (2013, background): “The Quasar Luminosity Function at z 6.5 The quasar luminosity function, Φ(M, z), is often parameterized by a double power-law (e.g., Boyle et al. 2000; Fan et al. 2001): Φ(M, z) = 10 k(z−6)Φ(M∗, z = 6) 100.4(α+1)(M−M∗) + 100.4(β+1)(M−M∗) , (1) where α is the faint end slope, β the bright end slope,…”

(2007) based on the local AGN luminosity function of Boyle et al. (2000), and slightly smaller than the measured offset.”
