Detailed Description

pointer to surface brightness function

Class to handle redshift-dependent quasar luminosity functions.

At the moment, only i band is available QLF from Ross et al. 2013 k-correction and mean QSO colors from Richards et al. 2006 (the k-corr is very close to the one used by Ross, small differencies only for z > 3)
