In this article, the authors studied the multi-component outflow systems of two quasars exhibiting intrinsic Fe II absorption (QSO 2359-1241 and SDSS J0318-0600).Abstract:
Using high resolution VLT spectra, we study the multi-component outflow systems of two quasars exhibiting intrinsic Fe II absorption (QSO 2359-1241 and SDSS J0318-0600). From the extracted ionic column densities and using photoionization modeling we determine the gas density, total column density, and ionization parameter for several of the components. For each object the largest column density component is also the densest, and all other components have densities of roughly 1/4 of that of the main component. We demonstrate that all the absorbers lie roughly at the same distance from the source. Further, we calculate the total kinetic luminosities and mass outflow rates of all components and show that these quantities are dominated by the main absorption component.read more

The Coevolution of Galaxies and Supermassive Black Holes: Insights from Surveys of the Contemporary Universe
Timothy M. Heckman,Philip Best +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a picture in which the population of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can be divided into two distinct populations: radiative-mode AGNs are associated with black holes that produce radiant energy powered by accretion at rates in excess of ∼ 1% of the Eddington limit.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the IRAM PdB Interferometer to observe the CO(1-0) transition in the closest quasar known, and they detected broad wings of the CO line, with velocities of up to 750 km/s-1 and spatially resolved on the kpc scale.

The physics of galactic winds driven by active galactic nuclei
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that cooling of high-velocity shocked winds in AGN is in fact inefficient in a wide range of circumstances, including conditions relevant to ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs), resulting in energy-conserving outflows.

TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution Very Large Telescope observations of the broad absorption line quasar SDSS J0318-0600 were used to extract accurate ionic column densities and determine an electron number density of ne = 103.3±0.2 cm−3 for the main outflow absorption component.
