摘要:

我们已经制作了一个目录的线识别和等效宽度测量的所有吸收功能的紫外阶梯状类星体光谱。这些光谱被选择为在用E230 M光栅获得的HST/STIS光谱中具有最高的信噪比。我们确定了56个金属线系统对八个类星体,并提出了检测到的过渡图,在速度空间对齐。我们发现,大约1/4 - 1/3的功能在Lya森林地区,红的发病率的Lyb森林,是金属线。高电离跃迁是常见的。我们在88 - 90%的金属线系统中看到O VI和C IV,其光谱覆盖了预期的波长。在58%的系统中可以看到Si III,而在C II,Si II和/或Al II中的低电离吸收在50%的系统中被检测到。该目录将有助于今后对Lya森林和各种类型的金属线系统的研究。

英文摘要:

We have produced a catalog of line identifications and equivalent width measurements for all absorption features in eight ultraviolet echelle quasar spectra. These spectra were selected as having the highest signal-to-noise among the HST/STIS spectra obtained with the E230M grating. We identify 56 metal-line systems toward the eight quasars, and present plots of detected transitions, aligned in velocity-space. We found that about 1/4 - 1/3 of the features in the Lya forest region, redward of the incidence of the Lyb forest, are metal lines. High ionization transitions are common. We see both O VI and C IV in 88 - 90% of the metal-line systems for which the spectra cover the expected wavelength. Si III is seen in 58%, while low ionization absorption in C II, Si II, and/or Al II is detected in 50% of the systems for which they are covered. This catalog will facilitate future studies of the Lya forest and of metal-line systems of various types.
