Acceleration and Substructure Constraints in a Quasar Outflow
We present observations of probable line-of-sight acceleration of a broad absorption trough of C IV in the quasar SDSS J024221.87+004912.6. We also discuss how the velocity overlap of two other outflowing systems in the same object constrains the properties of the outflows. The Si IV doublet in each system has one unblended transition and one transition which overlaps with absorption from the o...
متن کاملEmergence of a Quasar Outflow
We report the first discovery of the emergence of a high-velocity broad-line outflow in a luminous quasar, J105400.40+034801.2 at redshift z ∼ 2.1. The outflow is evident in ultraviolet C iv and Si iv absorption lines with velocity shifts v ∼ 26, 300 km s and deblended widths FWHM ∼ 4000 km s. These features are marginally strong and broad enough to be considered broad absorption lines (BALs), ...
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 کاملA Massive X-ray Outflow from the Quasar Pds 456
We report on XMM-Newton spectroscopic observations of the luminous radio-quiet quasar PDS 456. The hard X-ray spectrum of PDS 456 shows a deep absorption trough (constituting 50% of the continuum) at energies above 7 keV in the quasar rest frame, which can be attributed to a series of blueshifted K-shell absorption edges due to highly ionized iron. The higher resolution soft X-ray Reflection Gr...
متن کاملA first direct measurement of the intergalactic medium temperature around a quasar at z 6
The thermal state of the intergalactic medium (IGM) provides an indirect probe of both the H I and He II reionization epochs. Current constraints on the IGM temperature from the Lyα forest are restricted to the redshift range 2 ≤ z ≤ 4.5, limiting the ability to probe the thermal memory of H I reionization towards higher redshift. In this work, we present the first direct measurement of the IGM...
