In this paper we present near infrared (NIR) imaging data of the host galaxy of the broad absorption line quasar (BALQ) at z=2.169, serendipitously found close to 3C48. The data were obtained with the ESO-VLT camera ISAAC during period 67.…
We present the multiwavelength spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for 65 luminous broad absorption line (BAL) quasars with redshifts $1.55 \lesssim z \lesssim 3.50$ from the Gemini Near Infrared Spectrograph - Distant Quasar Survey…
We present a detailed investigation of the variability of 428 C IV and 235 Si IV Broad Absorption Line (BAL) troughs identified in multi-epoch observations of 291 quasars by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-I/II/III. These observations…
We present a sample of 68 low-z MgII low-ionization broad absorption-line (loBAL) quasars. The sample is uniformly selected from the SDSS5 according to the following criteria: (1) 0.4<z<0.8, (2) median S/N>7, and (3) MgII absorption-line…
We present a two-epoch Sloan Digital Sky Survey and Gemini/GMOS+William Herschel Telescope/ISIS variability study of 50 broad absorption line quasars of redshift range 1.9 < z < 4.2, containing 38 Si IV and 59 C IV BALs and spanning…
Broad absorption lines (BALs) in quasar spectra identify high velocity outflows that might exist in all quasars and could play a major role in feedback to galaxy evolution. The viability of BAL outflows as a feedback mechanism depends on…
We have used data from the Herschel-ATLAS at 250, 350 and 500 \mu m to determine the far-infrared (FIR) properties of 50 Broad Absorption Line Quasars (BAL QSOs). Our sample contains 49 high-ionization BAL QSOs (HiBALs) and 1 low-ionization…
We report X-ray observations of the most distant known gravitationally lensed quasar, J0439+1634 at $z=6.52$, which is also a broad absorption line (BAL) quasar, using the XMM-Newton Observatory. With a 130 ks exposure, the quasar is…
We present BeppoSAX observations of the Southern S1 region in the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS). These observations cover an area of ~1.7 sq. deg. and reach an on-axis (~0.7 sq. deg) 2-10 keV (HX) sensitivity of ~10E-13 cgs. This…
We present a new set of 84 Broad absorption line (BAL) quasars ( 1.7 $<$ \zem $<$ 4.4) exhibiting an appearance of \civ BAL troughs over 0.3$-$4.8 rest-frame years by comparing the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release (SDSSDR)-7,…
Recent XMM-Newton observations of the high-redshift, lensed, broad absorption line (BAL) quasi-stellar object APM 08279+5255, one of the most luminous objects in the universe, allowed the detection of a high column density absorber ($N_H…
Using the radio observations by FIRST and NVSS, we build a sample of 151 radio variable quasars selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 3 (SDSS DR3). Six (probably another two) among them are classified as broad absorption…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has discovered a population of broad absorption line quasars with various extreme properties. Many show absorption from metastable states of FeII with varying excitations; several objects are almost completely…
We study the relationship between the broad absorption lines (BALs) that can be decomposed into multiple narrow absorption lines and those that cannot (hereafter Type N and Type S BAL, respectively), based on the analysis of three BAL…
We have obtained a 110 ksec Chandra ACIS-S exposure of UM425, a pair of QSOs at z=1.47 separated by 6.5 arcsec, which show remarkably similar emission and broad absorption line (BAL) profiles in the optical/UV. Our 5000 count X-ray spectrum…
We have used archival Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of quasars hosting intrinsic narrow UV absorption lines (intrinsic NALs) to carry out an exploratory survey of their X-ray properties. Our sample consists of three intrinsic-NAL…
We present the results of a study of QSO Absorption Line Systems (QSOALSs) with respect to intrinsic QSO properties using an updated catalog of data in the literature. We have searched the literature for 6 and 20 cm radio flux densities and…
Blue-shifted Broad Absorption Lines (BALs) detected in quasar's spectra are indicative of AGN outflows. We show, using 2D hydrodynamical simulations, that disruption of interstellar clouds by a fast AGN wind can lead to formation of cold,…
The main goal of the FIRST-APM QSO Survey (FAQS) survey is to compile the most complete sample of Bright QSOs, located in the well optically investigated area of the sky covered by the Second Byurakan Survey (SBS). We do that through the…
Using a sample of $\simeq$144,000 quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey data release 14 we investigate the outflow properties, evident both in absorption and emission, of high-ionization Broad Absorption Line (BAL) and non-BAL quasars…
