Spectroscopy of Broad Absorption Line Quasars at 3 ≲ Z ≲ 5. I. Evidence for Quasar Winds Shaping Broad/Narrow Emission Line Regions [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 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]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1995 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.

Upper limits on the 21 cm power spectrum at z = 5.9 from quasar absorption line spectroscopy [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2016 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
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 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
The Astrophysical Journal, 2003 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 ...

Associated Absorption Lines in the Radio‐loud Quasar 3C 351: Far‐Ultraviolet Echelle Spectroscopy from theHubble Space Telescope [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2002 As one of the most luminous radio-loud quasars showing intrinsic ultraviolet (UV) and X-ray absorption, 3C 351 provides a laboratory for studying the kinematics and physical conditions of such ionized absorbers. We present an analysis of the intrinsic absorption lines in the high-resolution ($\sim$ 7 km/s) far-UV spectrum which was obtained from ...

Evidence of First Stars-enriched Gas in High-redshift Absorbers
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The first stars were born from chemically pristine gas. They were likely massive, and thus they rapidly exploded as supernovae, enriching the surrounding gas with the first heavy elements.
