Keck HIRES Spectroscopy of the FeiiLow‐Ionization Broad Absorption Line Quasar FBQS 0840+3633: Evidence for Two Outflows on Different Scales

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2002
A Keck echelle spectrum of the quasar FBQS 0840+3633 reveals outflowing gas that gives rise to blueshifted absorption lines of many low-ionization species. The gas covers a range of velocities from -700 to -3500 km s-1, with two main components centered at -900 and -2800 km s-1.

An Extremely Metal-poor Lyα Emitter Candidate at z = 6 Revealed through Absorption Spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We report the discovery of a Ly α emitter (LAE) candidate in the immediate foreground of the quasar PSO J158-14 at z _QSO = 6.0685 at a projected distance ∼29 pkpc that is associated with an extremely metal-poor absorption system.

Galactic-scale Emission-line Outflow from the Radio-loud Quasar 3C 191 [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Quasar feedback is routinely invoked as an indispensable ingredient in galaxy formation models. Galactic outflows are a crucial agent of quasar feedback that frequently manifest themselves in absorption and emission lines.

Reference wavelengths of Si ii, C ii, Fe i, and Ni ii for quasar absorption spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
Wavelengths of absorption lines in the spectra of galaxies along the line of sight to distant quasars can be used to probe the variablility of the fine structure constant, α, at high redshifts, provided that the laboratory wavelengths are known to better

Neutral-gas-phase metal abundances in Zn ii-selected quasar absorption line systems near redshift z = 1.2★ [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018
We present ten metallicity measurements for quasar absorbers near $z=1.2$ that were selected for having unusually significant ZnII absorption in their SDSS spectra.

Near-infrared spectroscopy of extreme BAL QSOs from the QUBRICS bright quasar survey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
We report on the spectral confirmation of 18 QSO candidates from the"QUasars as BRIght beacons for Cosmology in the Southern hemisphere'' survey (QUBRICS), previously observed in the optical band, for which we acquired new spectroscopic data in the near ...

Associated Absorption Lines in the Radio‐loud Quasar 3C 351: Far‐Ultraviolet Echelle Spectroscopy from theHubble Space Telescope [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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 ...
