Properties of QSO-Intrinsic Narrow Ultraviolet Absorption
نویسنده
چکیده
I present the current state of knowledge about narrow ( < ∼ 500 km s) ultraviolet absorption that is intrinsic to QSOs. I consider interpretations in the context of the accretion-disk/wind scenario of QSOs.

An Intrinsic Absorption Complex toward Rx J1230.8+0115: Geometry and Photoionization Conditions
We present Hubble Space Telescope/Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer spectra of the quasar RX J1230.8+0115 (V 1⁄4 14:4; z 1⁄4 0:117). In addition to Galactic, Virgo, and intervening absorption, this quasar is host to a remarkable intrinsic absorption complex. Four narrow absorption line systems, strong in C iv, N v, and O vi, lie within 5000 km s 1 o...

It is possible to distinguish " intrinsic " absorption systems (gas clouds within the quasar environment) from " intervening " systems (gas clouds unrelated to the quasar phenomenon) by considering certain observational properties. We find that the most direct determinations of the intrinsic nature of a system are time variability and partial coverage of the background light source by the absor...
متن کاملIntrinsic Absorption in Radio-Selected QSOs
Moderate resolution spectra have been recorded for a sample of radio-selected QSOs (z ∼ 2.5) discovered in the “Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty centimeters” (FIRST) VLA survey. This work is motivated by the study of a heterogeneous set of QSO absorption line spectra that showed that as many as 36% of the absorbers normally thought to be intergalactic are correlated with physical propert...

Close to the celestial position of the QSO Ton S180 a bright X-ray source was detected by ROSAT during the all-sky survey. Pointed follow-up observations confirmed the positional coincidence of RX J0057.3–2222 and Ton S180. The X-ray radiation of the quasar is intensity variable on time scales of hours to days and years with amplitudes up to a factor of about two. During the observation in June...
متن کاملA Hard Medium Survey with ASCA . IV . : the Radio - Loud Type 2 QSO AX J 0843 + 2942
We discuss the X-ray, optical and radio properties of AX J0843+2942, a high luminosity Type 2 AGN found in the ASCA Hard Serendipitous Survey. The X-ray spectrum is best described by an absorbed powerlaw model with photon index of Γ = 1.72 −0.6 and intrinsic absorbing column density of NH = 1.44 +0.33 −0.52 × 10 23 cm. The intrinsic luminosity in the 0.5 – 10 keV energy band is ≃ 3× 10 ergs s ,...
