摘要:

为了研究类星体中低电离线的发射位置和方式,我们正在研究一组新的钙三重态光谱,这些光谱是用甚大望远镜(VLT)使用红外光谱仪和阵列照相机(ISAAC)观测到的,位于$λ$ 8498,$λ$ 8542,$λ$ 8662。我们的样本涉及中等红移的发光类星体,其中CaII观测几乎不存在。我们使用H $β$谱作为模型拟合Ca II三联体和OI $λ$ 8446线。我们从CaII三重态OI $λ$ 8446和H $β$的相对强度中推导出对线发射区域的限制。

英文摘要:

In order to investigate where and how low ionization lines are emitted in quasars we are studying a new collection of spectra of the CaII triplet at $λ$8498, $λ$8542, $λ$8662 observed with the Very Large Telescope (VLT) using the Infrared Spectrometer And Array Camera (ISAAC). Our sample involves luminous quasars at intermediate redshift for which CaII observations are almost nonexistent. We fit the CaII triplet and the OI $λ$8446 line using the H$β$ profile as a model. We derive constraints on the line emitting region from the relative strength of the CaII triplet, OI $λ$8446 and H$β$.
