Physical Conditions in Quasar Outflows: Vlt Observations of Qso 2359–1241
We analyze the physical conditions of the outflow seen in QSO 2359–1241 (NVSS J235953-124148), based on high resolution spectroscopic VLT observations. This object was previously studied using Keck/HIRES data. The main improvement over the HIRES results is our ability to accurately determine the number density of the outflow. For the major absorption component, level population from five differ...
متن کاملSuzaku Observations of Near-relativistic Outflows in the Bal Quasar Apm 08279+5255
We present results from three Suzaku observations of the z = 3.91 gravitationally lensed broad absorption line quasar APM 08279+5255. We detect strong and broad absorption at rest-frame energies of . 2 keV (low-energy) and 7–12 keV (high-energy). The detection of these features confirms the results of previous long-exposure (80–90 ks) Chandra and XMM-Newton observations. The low and high-energy...
متن کاملQuasar Feedback and Galactic - scale Outflows
One of the most fascinating astronomical discoveries of the last several decades was the gradual realization that almost every massive galaxy, including our own Milky Way, contains a supermassive black hole in its center. Several lines of evidence suggest a fundamental connection between the black holes residing in galaxy centers and the formation and evolution of their host galaxies. One such ...
متن کاملIntergalactic Magnetic Fields from Quasar Outflows
Outflows from quasars inevitably pollute the intergalactic medium (IGM) with magnetic fields. The short-lived activity of a quasar leaves behind an expanding magnetized bubble in the IGM. We model the expansion of the remnant quasar bubbles and calculate their distribution as a function of size and magnetic field strength at different redshifts. We generically find that by a redshift z ∼ 3, abo...
متن کاملVlt + Uves Spectroscopy of the Ca Ii Lobal Quasar Sdss
We study high-resolution spectra of the ‘overlapping-trough’ low-ionization broad absorption line (LoBAL) quasar SDSS 0300+0048. The Ca II, Mg II and Mg I column densities in SDSS 0300+0048 are the largest reported to date for any BAL outflow. The broad Ca II absorption in this object is mildly blended, but the blending can be disentangled to measure the Ca II column density, which is large eno...
