GLAS/NAOMI: ground-layer AO at the William Herschel Telescope
Chris Benn,Don Carlos Abrams,Tibor Agócs,Diego Cano,Thomas Gregory,Juan Carlos Guerra,Olivier J. F. Martin,Tim Morris,Richard M. Myers,Samantha Rix,R. G. M. Rutten,I. Skillen,Jure Skvarč,Simon Tulloch +13 more
TL;DR: GLAS as discussed by the authors is an upgrade of the William Herschel Telescope's existing natural-guide-star (NGS) AO system NAOMI to incorporate a 20-W Rayleigh laser guide star (LGS) projected to an altitude of 15 km.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are radio-loud Broad Absorption Line Quasars young sources?
F. M. Montenegro-Montes,F. M. Montenegro-Montes,F. M. Montenegro-Montes,Karl-Heinz Mack,Chris Benn,Ruth Carballo,José Ignacio González-Serrano,J. Holt,F. Jiménez-Luján +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that most radio-loud broad absorption line quasars (BAL QSOs) are unpolarised or weakly polarised at 8.4 GHz and that they display convex radio spectra which typically flatten at low frequencies and become steeper at high frequencies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating the radio-loud phase of broad absorption line quasars
Gabriele Bruni,Gabriele Bruni,José Ignacio González-Serrano,Marco Pedani,Chris Benn,Karl-Heinz Mack,J. Holt,F. M. Montenegro-Montes,F. Jiménez-Luján,F. Jiménez-Luján +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the spectroscopic characteristics of radio-loud (RL) and radio-quiet (RQ) broad absorption lines (BALs) of quasars with the aim to find a possible explanation for the rarity of RL BAL QSOs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence that emission and absorption outflows in quasars are related
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed VLT/X-shooter data for 7 quasars, where they studied the relationship between their broad absorption line (BAL) and emission line outflows.
Journal ArticleDOI
A sample of radio‐loud QSOs at redshift ∼ 4
Joanna Holt,Chris Benn,M. Vigotti,Marco Pedani,Ruth Carballo,José Ignacio González-Serrano,K.-H. Mack,K.-H. Mack,B. Garcia +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors obtained spectra of 60 red, star-like objects (E 1 mJy) with redshift z > 3.6 and showed that these objects are highly luminous in the optical (eight have MB < −28, q0 = 0.5, H 0 = 50 km s −1 Mpc −1 ).
