Vanishing Absorption and Blueshifted Emission in FeLoBAL Quasars
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society(2016)
摘要
We study the dramatic decrease in iron absorption strength in the iron low-ionization broad absorption line quasar SDSS J084133.15+200525.8. We report on the continued weakening of absorption in the prototype of this class of variable broad absorption line quasar, FBQS J140806.2+305448. We also report a third example of this class, SDSS J123103.70+392903.6; unlike the other two examples, it has undergone an increase in observed continuum brightness (at 3000 angstrom rest frame) as well as a decrease in iron absorption strength. These changes could be caused by absorber transverse motion or by ionization variability. We note that the MgII and UV Fe II lines in several FeLoBAL quasars are blueshifted by thousands of km s(-1) relative to the H beta emission line peak. We suggest that such emission arises in the outflowing winds normally seen only in absorption.
