Deep-Learning-Based Identification of Broad-Absorption Line Quasars

Applied Sciences
The accurate classification of broad-absorption line (BAL) quasars and non-broad-absorption line (non-BAL) quasars is key in understanding active galactic nuclei (AGN) and the evolution of the universe.

SURPRISES FROM A DEEP ASCA SPECTRUM OF THE BROAD ABSORPTION LINE QUASAR PHL 5200 [PDF]

, 2020
We present a deep (∼85 ks) ASCA observation of the prototype broad absorption line quasar (BALQSO) PHL 5200. This is the best X-ray spectrum of a BALQSO yet. We find the following: (1) The source is not intrinsically X-ray weak.

Time‐Variable Complex Metal Absorption Lines in the Quasar HS 1603+3820 [PDF]

, 2005
We present a new spectrum of the quasar HS 1603+3820 taken 1.28 yr (0.36 yr in the quasar rest frame) after a previous observation with Subaru+HDS. The new spectrum enables us to search for time variability as an identifier of intrinsic narrow absorption

BALNet: Deep-learning-based Detection and Measurement of Broad Absorption Lines in Quasar Spectra

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Broad absorption line (BAL) quasars serve as critical probes for understanding outflows from active galactic nuclei, black hole accretion, and cosmic evolution.

A Potential Link between Nuclear Winds and Cold Gas Outflows on Kiloparsec Scales in Reionization-era Quasars

The Astrophysical Journal
Feedback from accreting supermassive black holes may regulate galaxy evolution, but statistical evidence linking nuclear winds to kiloparsec-scale cold gas outflows remains limited in the early Universe.

AGN with extreme X-ray amplitude variations

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
We present active galactic nuclei (AGNs) that have shown extreme amplitude variability in X-rays. These AGN appear as bright for long periods, but then suddenly become extremely X-ray weak sources.

The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) Quasar Survey: Quasar Properties from Data Releases 10 to 12

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We present the quasar catalog from Data Releases 10 to 12 of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) Quasar Survey, comprising quasars observed between 2021 September and 2024 June. We robustly identified 11,346 quasars, of

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

The 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).
