The Quasar - frame Velocity Distribution of Narrow C IV
We report on a survey for narrow (FWHM < 600 km s) C iv absorption lines in a sample of bright quasars at redshifts 1.8 6 z < 2.25 in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Our main goal is to understand the relationship of narrow C iv absorbers to quasar outflows and, more generally, to quasar environments. We determine velocity zeropoints using the broad Mg ii emission line, and then measure the absor...
متن کاملA high - velocity narrow absorption line outflow in the quasar
We report on the discovery of a high-velocity narrow absorption line outflow in the redshift 2.3 quasar J212329.46 − 005052.9. Five distinct outflow systems are detected with velocity shifts from −9710 to −14 050 km s−1 and C IV λλ1548, 1551 linewidths of FWHM ≈ 62– 164 km s−1. This outflow is remarkable for having high speeds and a degree of ionization similar to broad absorption line (BAL) fl...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of quasar absorbers
The physical state of the intergalactic medium can be probed in great detail with the intervening absorption systems seen in quasar spectra. The properties of the Hydrogen absorbers depend on many cosmological parameters, such as the matter-power spectrum, reionisation history, ionising background and the nature of the dark matter. The spectra also contain metal lines, which can be used to cons...
متن کاملEvidence of a high velocity ionised outflow in a second narrow line quasar PG0844+349
Following the discovery of X-ray absorption in a high velocity outflow from the bright quasar PG1211+143 we have searched for similar features in XMM-Newton archival data of a second (high accretion rate) quasar PG0844+349. Evidence is found for several faint absorption lines in both the EPIC and RGS spectra, whose most likely identification with resonance transitions in H-like Fe, S, and Ne im...
متن کاملDusty MgII Absorbers: Implications for the GRB/Quasar Incidence Discrepancy
There is nearly a factor of four difference in the number density of intervening MgII absorbers as determined from gamma-ray burst (GRB) and quasar lines of sight. We use a Monte-Carlo simulation to test if a dust extinction bias can account for this discrepancy. We apply an empirically determined relationship between dust column density and MgII rest equivalent width to simulated quasar sight-...
