چکیده
We present a detection of [CI] 3 P 1 − 3 P 0 emission in the lensed quasar APM 08279+5255 at z=3.91 using the IRAM Plateau de Bure interferometer. The [CI] line velocity and width are similar to the values of previously detected high-J CO and HCN lines in this source, suggesting that the emission from all of these species arises from the same region. The apparent luminosity of the [CI] line is L

Sma High Angular Resolution Imaging of the Lensed Quasar Apm 08279+5255
We present Submillimeter Array observations of the z=3.91 gravitationally lensed broad absorption line quasar APM 08279+5255 which spatially resolve the 1.0 mm (200 μm rest-frame) dust continuum emission. At 0. 4 resolution, the emission is separated into two components, a stronger, extended one to the northeast (46 ± 5 mJy) and a weaker, compact one to the southwest (15 ± 2 mJy). We have carri...

We report on one year of photometric monitoring of the ultraluminous BAL quasar APM 08279+5255. The temporal sampling reveals that this gravitationally lensed system has brightened by ∼0.2 mag in 100 days. Two potential causes present themselves; either the variability is intrinsic to the quasar, or it is the result of microlensing by stars in a foreground system. The data is consistent with bo...
متن کاملAPM 08279 + 5255 : Keck Near - and Mid - IR High - Resolution Imaging
We present Keck high-resolution near-IR (2.2 µm; FWHM ∼ 0. ′′ 15) and mid-IR (12.5 µm; FWHM ∼ 0. ′′ 4) images of APM 08279+5255, a z = 3.91 IR-luminous BALQSO with a prodigious apparent bolometric luminosity of 5 × 10 15 L ⊙ , the largest known in the universe. The K-band image shows that this system consists of three components, all of which are likely to be the gravitationally lensed images o...
متن کاملDetection of Co(4–3), Co(9–8), and Dust Emission in the Bal Quasar Apm 08279+5255 at a Redshift of 3.9
We detected with the IRAM interferometer the lines of CO(4–3) and CO(9–8) from the recently-discovered broad absorption line quasar APM 08279+5255. The molecular lines are at a redshift of 3.9110, which we take to be the true cosmological redshift of the quasar’s host galaxy. This means the quasar emission lines at z = 3.87 are blueshifted by a kinematic component of 2500 km s, and, along with ...
متن کاملChandra Detects Relativistic Broad Absorption Lines from Apm 08279+5255
We report the discovery of X-ray broad absorption lines (BALs) from the BALQSO APM 08279+5255 originating from material moving at relativistic velocities with respect to the central source. The large flux magnification by a factor of ∼ 100 provided by the gravitational lens effect combined with the large redshift (z = 3.91) of the quasar have facilitated the acquisition of the first high signal...
