Polar Broad Absorption Line Quasars: An Open Question

open access: yes, 2011
It has been argued that certain broad absorption line quasars are viewed within 35 degrees of the axis of a relativistic radio jet, based on two-epoch radio flux density variability. It is true if the surface brightness of a radio source is observed to change by a sufficiently large amount, the inferred brightness temperature will exceed 10^12 K and ...

Metal-Enriched Outflows in the Ultra-Luminous infrared Quasar Q1321+058

open access: yes, 2009
Quasar outflows may play important role in the evolution of its host galaxy and central black hole. In this paper, we present a detailed study of multiple outflows in the obscured ultra-luminous infrared quasar Q1321+058.

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Velocity Shifts of Quasar Emission Lines

open access: yes, 2016
Quasar emission lines are often shifted from the systemic velocity due to various dynamical and radiative processes in the line-emitting region. The level of these velocity shifts depends both on the line species and on quasar properties.

The Quasar-associated 2175 Å Dust Absorbers in the SDSS DR16 Quasar Catalog

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We present, for the first time, a systematic study of quasar-associated 2175 Å dust absorbers using spectroscopic data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 16 (DR16).

Transient LoBALs at High Velocities: A Case of Extreme Broad Absorption Line Variability in J115636.82+085628.9

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a multiepoch spectroscopic study of the broad absorption line (BAL) quasar J115636.82+085628.9 ( z _em  = 2.1077), based on five spectra spanning nearly two decades in the observer’s frame.

Circumnuclear Gas of a Quasar in Absorption and Emission Lines

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a detailed analysis of the unusual absorption- and emission-line spectrum of the quasar SDSS J074850.39+442439.0 (hereafter J0748+4424) at a redshift of z = 2.18. The archival SDSS optical spectrum is abundant in narrow absorption lines (NALs)

A Self-consistent Treatment of the Line-driving Radiation Force for Active Galactic Nuclei Outflows: New Prescriptions for Simulations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Flows driven by photons have been studied for almost a century, and a quantitative description of the radiative forces on atoms and ions is important for understanding a wide variety of systems with outflows and accretion disks, such as active galactic ...

What can we learn from high energy flares in the Fermi sample of FSRQs : from a case study to dozens of objects

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
In 2008 the flat spectrum radio quasar GB6 J1239+0443 (z=1.762), underwent an high activity period at all wavelengths. In particular, at optical-uv wavelengths, the source underwent a flux enhancement of a factor 15–30 in 6 years, and >10 in half a year,
