Do 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 کاملQuasars 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 کاملFluorescence Spectrophotometry
Fluorescence and phosphorescence are photon emission processes that occur during molecular relaxation from electronic excited states. These photonic processes involve transitions between electronic and vibrational states of polyatomic fluorescent molecules (fluorophores). The Jablonski diagram (Figure 1) offers a convenient representation of the excited state structure and the relevant transiti...
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 کاملTowards Quasars
Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) is the synthesis of the light nuclei, Deuterium (D or 2H), 3He, 4He and 7Li during the first few minutes of the universe. In this review we concentrate on recent data which give the primordial deuterium (D) abundance. We have measured the primordial D/H in gas with very nearly primordial abundances. We use the Lyman series absorption lines seen in the spectra of q...
