A SPectroscopic Survey of Biased Halos in the Reionization Era (ASPIRE): JWST Discovers an Overdensity around a Metal Absorption-selected Galaxy at z ∼ 5.5

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The launch of JWST opens a new window for studying the connection between metal-line absorbers and galaxies at the end of the Epoch of Reionization.

A SINFONI Integral Field Spectroscopy Survey for Galaxy Counterparts to Damped Lyman-alpha Systems - VI. Metallicity and Geometry as Gas Flow Probes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The use of background quasars provides a powerful tool to probe the cool gas in the circum-galactic medium of foreground galaxies. Here, we present new observations with SINFONI and X-Shooter of absorbing-galaxy candidates at z=0.7-1.

High Signal‐to‐Noise Echelle Spectroscopy of Quasar Absorption Line Systems with Metals in the Direction of HS 1700+6416

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 1997
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 ...

Investigating the Origin of the Absorption-line Variability in the Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Galaxy WPVS 007

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Broad absorption line quasars are actively accreting supermassive black holes that have strong outflows characterized by broad absorption lines in their rest-UV spectra.

Discovery of Broad Soft X-ray Absorption Lines from the Quasar Wind in PDS 456 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
High resolution soft X-ray spectroscopy of the prototype accretion disk wind quasar, PDS 456, is presented. Here, the XMM-Newton RGS spectra are analyzed from the large 2013-2014 XMM-Newton campaign, consisting of 5 observations of approximately 100 ks ...

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.

Reacceleration of a C iv Broad Absorption Line in Quasar SDSS J083817.00+295526.5

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a rare signature of reacceleration in a C iv broad absorption line (BAL) of the quasar SDSS J083817.00+295526.5. This quasar showcases three distinct BAL systems, labeled as systems A, B, and C.
