Quasar Metal Abundance and FIR Luminosity
We compare the metallicities in high-redshift quasars to the star formation rates (SFR) in their host galaxies using measurements of broad emission lines and far-infrared (FIR) luminosities. The FIR emission indicates the level of ongoing massive starbursts in the galaxy, whereas the abundance of metals in the gas surrounding the quasar indicates the amount of star formation which occurred befo...
متن کاملNew FIR laser lines from hydrazine and assignments
Our new waveguide pulsed CO2 laser, with peak powers above 1 kW, has allowed us to observe 24 new farinfrared laser lines emitted by hydrazine. Each of them is characterized in wavelength, relative polarization, intensity, optimum operating pressure and pump offset from the center of the exciting CO2 line. These new laser emissions either form pairs sharing the same pump line, or complete such ...
متن کاملOptically Pumped FIR Laser Lines from CH3OH: New Laser Lines, Frequency Measurements, and Assignments.
We report the identification and characterization of eight new FIR laser lines from methanol (CH3OH) in the range 48.4 to 453.7 µm pumped by sequence and hot bands of a cw CO2 laser. Frequency measurements for most of the new FIR laser lines and from previously reported ones were obtained in the range 0.6-6.8 THz with a one-sigma reproducibility of two parts in 10(7). We propose an assignment o...
متن کاملMetallicities and Abundance Ratios from Quasar Broad Emission Lines
The broad emission lines (BELs) of quasars and active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are important diagnostics of the relative abundances and overall metallicity in the gas. Here we present new theoretical predictions for several UV BELs. We focus specifically on the relative nitrogen abundance as a metallicity indicator, based on the expected secondary enrichment of nitrogen at metallicities Z & 0.2 Z...
متن کاملThe Abundance of Interstellar Nitrogen
Using the HST Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS), we have obtained high S/N echelle observations of the weak interstellar N I 1160,1161 absorption doublet toward the stars Cas, Ori, Ori, Ori, Sco and Sco. In combination with a previous GHRS measurement of N I toward Oph, these new observations yield a mean interstellar gas-phase nitrogen abundance (per 10 H atoms) of 10 N/H = 75 4 ( 1 ...
