Quasar Absorption Lines as a Function of Quasar Orientation Measures
We present high resolution radio data at 3.5 and 20 cm from the VLA in the A configuration for 144 quasars with known C IV absorption line properties. Using these measurements, we compare and contrast a number of quasar orientation indicators. These quantities are used to study the velocity distribution of C IV absorption lines as a function of quasar orientation measures. That there is an exce...
متن کاملCaII absorption lines in the reddened quasar SDSS J 2339 −
We report the detection of strong CaII/MgII absorption lines at the quasar redshift in the narrow line quasar SDSS J2339−0912 (z = 0.6604). The quasar exhibits strong FeII, small Balmer emission line width and a very red B−K s color. Both the optical continuum and broad emission lines are reddened by SMC-like dust of E(B−V)≃1.0 mag, while its near-infrared color (J − K s = 1.60) shows little re...
متن کاملHI-selected Galaxies As a Probe of Quasar Absorption Systems
We investigate the properties of local HI-selected galaxies detected in blind radio surveys by using semi-analytic galaxy formation models in the hierarchical structure formation scenario. By drawing a detailed comparison between the properties of the HI-selected galaxies and the quasar absorption systems, we investigate a link between the local galaxy population and the quasar absorption syste...
متن کاملQuasar emission lines as probes of orientation: implications for disc wind geometries and unification
The incidence of broad absorption lines (BALs) in quasar samples is often interpreted in the context of a geometric unification model consisting of an accretion disc and an associated outflow. We use the the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) quasar sample to test this model by examining the equivalent widths (EWs) of C iv 1550 Å, Mg ii 2800 Å, [O iii] 5007 Å and C iii] 1909 Å. We find that the em...
متن کاملA Balmer-line Broad Absorption Line Quasar
I report the discovery of blueshifted broad absorption line (BAL) troughs in at least six transitions of the Balmer series of hydrogen (Hβ to H9) and in Ca II, Mg II and excited Fe II in the quasar SDSS J125942.80+121312.6. This is only the fourth active galactic nucleus known to exhibit Balmer absorption, all four in conjunction with low-ionization BAL systems containing excited Fe II. The sub...
