Weak Hard X-ray Emission from Broad Absorption Line Quasars: Evidence for Intrinsic X-ray Weakness
We report NuSTAR observations of a sample of six X-ray weak broad absorption line (BAL) quasars. These targets, at z = 0.148–1.223, are among the optically brightest and most luminous BAL quasars known at z< 1.3. However, their rest-frame ≈ 2 keV luminosities are 14 to > 330 times weaker than expected for typical quasars. Our results from a pilot NuSTAR study of two low-redshift BAL quasars, a ...
متن کاملX–ray Emission from the First Quasars
It is currently unknown whether the Universe was reionized by quasars or stars at z ∼ > 5. We point out that quasars can be best distinguished from stellar systems by their X-ray emission. Based on a simple hierarchical CDM model, we predict the number counts and X-ray fluxes of quasars at high redshifts. The model is consistent with available data on the luminosity function of high-redshift qu...
متن کاملAre the X-ray spectra of flat-spectrum radio quasars and BL Lacertae objects different?
We study the X-ray spectra of 114 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQ) using the hardness ratios as given in the WGA catalogue of ROSAT sources. This sample includes all WGA FSRQ with high-quality data and comprises about 20 per cent of presently known such objects, which makes this the largest FSRQ sample ever studied in the X-ray band. We find that FSRQ have a distribution of energy spectral in...
متن کاملX-Ray Microlensing of Bright Quasars
We calculated the expected microlens light curves for several accretion-flow models and compared the results to find what aspects of distinct flow structures can be extracted from the microlens light curves. As for the flow models, we considered the standard disk, optically thin advection-dominated flow, and the disk-corona model by Kawaguchi et al., which can nicely reproduce the observed quas...
