Sharpening quasar absorption lines with ESPRESSO

چکیده
Aims. We aim to study several key physical properties of quasar absorption-line systems that are subtly encoded in their absorption profiles and have not yet been thoroughly investigated or constrained.

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 کاملHow Saturated Are Absorption Lines in the Broad Absorption Line Quasar
Recently, convincing evidence was found for extremely large X-ray absorption by column densities > 1023 cm−2 in broad absorption line quasars. One consequence of this is that any soft X-ray emission from these QSOs would be the scattered light or leaked light from partially covering absorbing material. A detection of the unabsorbed soft X-ray and absorbed hard X-ray component will allow to dete...

متن کاملOn the Origin of Very Wide Lyα-Absorption-Lines in Quasar Spectra
We present a new explanation for the very wide absorption features in quasar spectra. In our model, a very wide absorption feature will originate, when the line of sight crosses a bubble wall tangentially. We demonstrate this on the quasar pair (2138-4427), (21394434). Both show two very wide absorption lines in their spectra at the same redshift. The bubble wall model can explain these observa...
