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 کاملSpace Telescope Observations of the Quasar 3 C 454 . 3
This is the first report of Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope observations of the quasar 3C 454.3, which has been undergoing pronounced long-term outbursts since 2000. The data from the Large Area Telescope (LAT), covering 2008 July 7– October 6, indicate strong, highly variable γ-ray emission with an average flux of ∼ 3×10 photons cm s, for energies > 100MeV. The γ-ray flux is variable, with str...
متن کاملPhysical conditions in QSO absorbers from fine-structure absorption lines
We calculate theoretical population ratios of the ground fine-structure levels of some atoms/ions which typically exhibit UV lines in the spectra of QSO absorbers redward the Ly-α forest: C, C, O, Si and Fe. The most reliable atomic data available is employed and a variety of excitation mechanisms considered: collisions with several particles in the medium, direct excitation by photons from the...
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 ...
