Broad Absorption Line Quasars in the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Early Data Release

S. Filbert, P. Martini, K. Seebaluck +41

Broad absorption line (BAL) quasars are characterized by gas clouds that absorb flux at the wavelength of common quasar spectral features, although blueshifted by velocities that c…
