Do Quasars Lens Quasars?

If the unexpectedly high frequency of quasar pairs with very different component redshifts is due to the lensing of a population of background quasars by the foreground quasar, typical lens masses must be ∼ 10M⊙ and the sum of all such quasar lenses would have to contain ∼ 0.005 times the closure density of the Universe. It then seems plausible that a very high fraction of all ∼ 10M⊙ gravitatio...

Quasars Probing Quasars I: Optically Thick Absorbers near Luminous Quasars

With close pairs of quasars at different redshifts, a background quasar sightline can be used to study a foreground quasar’s environment in absorption. We search 149 moderate resolution background quasar spectra, from Gemini, Keck, the MMT, and the SDSS to survey Lyman Limit Systems (LLSs) and Damped Lyα systems (DLAs) in the vicinity of 1.8 < z < 4.0 luminous foreground quasars. A sample of 27...

Fuelling quasars with hot gas

We consider a model for quasar formation in which massive black holes are formed and fuelled largely by the accretion of hot gas during the process of galaxy formation. In standard hierarchical collapse models, objects about the size of normal galaxies and larger form a dense hot atmosphere when they collapse. We show that if such an atmosphere forms a nearly ‘maximal’ cooling flow, then a cent...

Evidence of Increased UV Fe ii Emission in Quasars in Candidate Overdense Regions

We present evidence for a skewed distribution of UV Fe ii emission in quasars within candidate overdense regions spanning spatial scales of ∼ 50 Mpc at 1.11 < z < 1.67, compared to quasars in field environments at comparable redshifts. The overdense regions have an excess of high equivalent width sources (W2400 > 42 Å), and a dearth of low equivalent width sources. There are various possible ex...

On the Fraction of Quasars with Outflows

Outflows from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) seem to be common and are thought to be important from a variety of perspectives: as an agent of chemical enhancement of the interstellar and intergalactic media, as an agent of angular momentum removal from the accreting central engine, and as an agent limiting star formation in starbursting systems by blowing out gas and dust from the host galaxy. T...
