Vlt + Uves Spectroscopy of the Ca Ii Lobal Quasar Sdss
We study high-resolution spectra of the ‘overlapping-trough’ low-ionization broad absorption line (LoBAL) quasar SDSS 0300+0048. The Ca II, Mg II and Mg I column densities in SDSS 0300+0048 are the largest reported to date for any BAL outflow. The broad Ca II absorption in this object is mildly blended, but the blending can be disentangled to measure the Ca II column density, which is large eno...
متن کاملVlt/uves Constraints on the Carbon Isotope Ratio
We analyzed the C i lines associated with the damped Lyα system observed at zabs = 1.15 in the spectrum of HE 0515–4414 to derive the C/C ratio. The spectrum was obtained by means of the UV-Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) at the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT). The obtained lower limit C/C > 80 (2σ C.L.) shows for the first time that the abundance of C in the extragalactic intervening clouds ...
متن کاملResults of Ray-Tracing the Wavelength Calibration of the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph
We describe the results of Code-V ray-tracing of the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) to improve the wavelength calibration. For the IRS Short-hi and Long-hi modules, the RMS in Δλ (observed calculated) for measured lines has been significantly improved from the purely empirical solution, to 0.125 pixels and 0.091 pixels, respectively. For the Short-lo and Long-lo modules, the RMS is reduced...
متن کاملFirst results of UVES at VLT : revisiting RR Tel ⋆
We present here the first results of UVES observations of RR Tel. The exceptional performances of the instrument have allowed the detection of new spectral features and have led to an improvement in the identifications of several emission lines. A direct comparison with the IUE observations in the range 3045-3300 Å has revealed the appearance of many weak and shallow lines, most of them lacking...
متن کاملVLT / UVES constraints on a varying fine - structure constant
Current analyses of VLT/UVES quasar spectra disagree with the Keck/HIRES evidence for a varying fine-structure constant, α. To investigate this we introduce a simple method for calculating the minimum possible uncertainty on ∆α/α for a given quasar absorber. For many absorbers in Chand et al. (2004) and for the single-absorber constraint of Levshakov et al. (2006) the quoted uncertainties are s...
