Optical discovery spectra of the 16 new quasars reported in this work, including the quasar LS J1451−0445 from the DESI data release (Abdul-Karim et al. 2025). The black curves show the observed spectra, the red curves the best-fit quasar templates used for redshift estimation, and blue dashed lines indicate the adopted best-fit position of Ly-α. Each panel lists the source name, spectroscopic redshift, and the best-fit template in the upper left corner. The typical redshift uncertainty is 0.03 (see Section 5). Quasars are sorted from top to bottom by decreasing redshift.
