Orientation effects in quasar spectra: The broad- and narrow-line regions
We use the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, along with the NRAO VLA Sky Survey and the Westerbork Northern Sky Survey to define a sample of 746 radio-loud quasars and measure their 330MHz to 1.4GHz spectral indexes. Following previous authors we take the radio spectral index as an indicator of the orientation towards the quasars such that more pole-on sources tend to have flatter spectral indexes. We ...
متن کاملA high - velocity narrow absorption line outflow in the quasar
We report on the discovery of a high-velocity narrow absorption line outflow in the redshift 2.3 quasar J212329.46 − 005052.9. Five distinct outflow systems are detected with velocity shifts from −9710 to −14 050 km s−1 and C IV λλ1548, 1551 linewidths of FWHM ≈ 62– 164 km s−1. This outflow is remarkable for having high speeds and a degree of ionization similar to broad absorption line (BAL) fl...
متن کاملGas Metallicity in the Narrow-Line Regions of High-Redshift Active Galactic Nuclei
We analyze optical (UV rest-frame) spectra of X-ray selected narrow-line QSOs at redshift 1.5 <∼ z <∼ 3.7 found in the Chandra Deep Field South and of narrow-line radio galaxies at redshift 1.2 <∼ z <∼ 3.8 to investigate the gas metallicity of the narrow-line regions and their evolution in this redshift range. Such spectra are also compared with UV spectra of local Seyfert 2 galaxies. The obser...
متن کاملEvidence of a high velocity ionised outflow in a second narrow line quasar PG0844+349
Following the discovery of X-ray absorption in a high velocity outflow from the bright quasar PG1211+143 we have searched for similar features in XMM-Newton archival data of a second (high accretion rate) quasar PG0844+349. Evidence is found for several faint absorption lines in both the EPIC and RGS spectra, whose most likely identification with resonance transitions in H-like Fe, S, and Ne im...
متن کاملEmission-Line Properties of MG2016+112: A Luminous Type-2 Quasar at High Redshift
We present new high signal-to-noise ratio spectra of the components B and C of the gravitational lensing system MG2016+112. We show that image C displays strong emission lines of Lyα, NV, CIV, HeII, and CIII] redshifted to z=3.27, similar to images A and B. We examine the emission-line flux ratios in order to put constraints on the lens models as well as to investigate the intrinsic nature of M...
