Synthetic proximity-zone spectra plus a simple peak-finding algorithm can distinguish line-of-sight separations of quasar pairs at the 0.2–0.5 pMpc level for sky separations of 10–100 pkpc and still separate close versus distant pairs at 1 pMpc sky separation.

The Quasar Proximity Effect as an Alternative Probe of Quasar Pair Distances
Synthetic proximity-zone spectra plus a simple peak-finding algorithm can distinguish line-of-sight separations of quasar pairs at the 0.2–0.5 pMpc level for sky separations of 10–100 pkpc and still separate close versus distant pairs at 1 pMpc sky separation.
