Spectroscopy of Broad Absorption Line Quasars at 3 ≲ Z ≲ 5. I. Evidence for Quasar Winds Shaping Broad/Narrow Emission Line Regions [PDF]
Abstract We present an observational study of 22 broad absorption line quasars (BAL QSOs) at based on optical/near-IR spectroscopy, aiming to investigate quasar winds and their effects.

High-Resolution Spectroscopy of Quasars and Quasar Absorption-Line Systems [PDF]
Topic cover in this paper included new observations of QSO absorption lines by the Keck Telescope HIRES spectrometer and the Hubble Space Telescope. An overview of the major scientific issues in this field is followed by a brief summary of a panel discussion that addressed future instrumental possibilities that could answer some of these questions.

We have obtained a high signal-to-noise (30 ? S/N ? 70), high-resolution (FWHM = 20 km s-1) spectrum of the radio-quiet QSO HS 1700+6416 (zem = 2.72) with the echelle spectrograph on the Kitt Peak National Observatory 4 m telescope. We detect 13 metal systems in the optical spectrum of this QSO, including six systems with associated optically thin ...

A new generation of sensitive X-ray measurements are indicating that the existence of X-ray attenuation column densities, NH > 1024 cm-2, is quite common among broad absorption line quasars (BALQSOs). This is significant to the geometry of the broad absorption line (BAL) outflow.

Polypept(o)ide-Based Core-Shell Bottlebrush Polymers: A Versatile Platform for Drug Encapsulation. [PDF]
This study developed polypept(o)ide‐based core–shell brushes (CSBs) with tunable sizes (Rh: 17–70 nm) for hydrophobic drug delivery. CSBs achieved 10% dasatinib loading through π–π interactions, enabling sustained release over 72 h. Notably, CSB‐dasatinib complexes showed comparable cell viability reduction to the free drug in U‐87 MG cells ...

Upper limits on the 21 cm power spectrum at z = 5.9 from quasar absorption line spectroscopy [PDF]
Abstract We present upper limits on the 21 cm power spectrum at z = 5.9 calculated from the model-independent limit on the neutral fraction of the intergalactic medium of $x_{{\rm H\,\small {I}}} < 0.06 + 0.05\ (1\sigma )$ derived from dark pixel statistics of quasar absorption spectra.

The Study of the Circumgalactic Medium with Quasar Pairs
We have collected 10,025 foreground–background quasar pairs with projected distances d _p < 500 kpc from the large quasar catalog of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR16Q. We investigate the properties of the Mg ii absorption lines with W _r > 0.15 Å around

VLT+UVES Spectroscopy of the Ca
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. The broad Ca II absorption is mildly blended, but the blending can be disentangled to measure the Ca ...
