摘要:

宽吸收线(BAL)类星体探测由发光吸积黑洞喷出的高速气体。BAL变化时间尺度对超大质量黑洞附近的发射和吸收气体的大小、位置和动力学产生了限制。我们提出了多历元光谱的17个BAL类星体从斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)使用弗雷德劳伦斯惠普尔天文台的1.5米望远镜的FAST摄谱仪。这些物体在SDSS中被识别为BALs,用Chandra观察,然后用FAST以1、3、9、27和81天以及1年和2年的周期帧节奏进行监测。我们还监测了一组非BAL类星体与匹配的红移和光度作为控制。我们确定了BALs的显著变化,特别是在1年和2年的踏频,并使用其幅度和频率来限制影响宽吸收线区域的流出。

英文摘要:

Broad absorption line (BAL) quasars probe the high velocity gas ejected by luminous accreting black holes. BAL variability timescales place constraints on the size, location, and dynamics of the emitting and absorbing gas near the supermassive black hole. We present multi-epoch spectroscopy of seventeen BAL QSOs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) using the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory's 1.5m telescope's FAST Spectrograph. These objects were identified as BALs in SDSS, observed with Chandra, and then monitored with FAST at observed-frame cadences of 1, 3, 9, 27, and 81 days, as well as 1 and 2 years. We also monitor a set of non-BAL quasars with matched redshift and luminosity as controls. We identify significant variability in the BALs, particularly at the 1 and 2 year cadences, and use its magnitude and frequency to constrain the outflows impacting the broad absorption line region.
