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...
متن کاملQuasars Probing Quasars Ii: the Anisotropic Clustering of Optically Thick Absorbers around 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 used a sample of 17 Lyman limit systems with column density NHI > 10 19 cm selected from 149 projected quasar pair sightlines, to investigate the clustering pattern of optically thick absorbers around luminous quasars at z ∼ 2.5. Specifically...
متن کاملDo 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...
متن کاملEstimating the continuum of quasars using the articial neural networks
A lot of absorption lines are in the bluewards of Lyα emission line of quasar which is well-known as Lyαforest. Most of absorption lines in this forest belong to the Lyα absorption of the neutral hydrogen in the inter-galactic medium (IGM). For high redshift quasars and in the continuum with low and medium resolution, there are no many regions without absorption, so that, the quasar continuum i...
متن کاملQuasars Probing Quasars Iii: New Clues to Feedback, Quenching, and the Physics of Massive Galaxy Formation
Galaxies hosting z ∼ 2 quasars are the high-z progenitors of today’s massive ‘red-and-dead’ galaxies. With close pairs of quasars at different redshifts, a background quasar can be used to study a foreground quasar’s halo gas in absorption, providing a wealth of information about feedback, quenching, and the physics of massive galaxy formation. We present a Keck/HIRES spectrum of the bright bac...
