Dust-driven wind as a model of broad absorption line quasars
Context. We test the scenario according to which the broad absorption line (BAL) phenomenon in quasars (QSOs) is not a temporary stage of their life. In this scenario, the BAL effect acts only if the line of sight is within a spatially limited and collimated massive outflow cone covering only a fraction of the sky from the point of view of the nucleus.

VLT+UVES spectroscopy of the Ca II low-ionization broad absorption line quasar SDSS J030000.56+004828.0 [PDF]
We study high-resolution spectra of the "overlapping-trough'' low-ionization broad absorption line (LoBAL) quasar SDSS J030000.56+004828.0. The Ca II, Mg II, and Mg I column densities in this object are the largest reported to date for any BAL outflow ...

Impact of Radio-mode Feedback on the Covering Fraction of the Circumgalactic Medium of Quasars
Utilizing data from the Low-Frequency Array Two-meter Sky Survey and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we assemble a sample of 1469 projected quasar pairs with detected radio emissions from foreground quasars, as well as a control sample of 5846 pairs ...
