VLT/UVES Observation of the SDSS J2357-0048 Outflow

Abstract

We found a broad absorption line (BAL) outflow in the VLT/UVES spectrum of the quasar SDSS J235702.54-004824.0, in which we identified four subcomponents. We measured the column densities of the ions in one of the subcomponents ($v$ = -1600 km s${}^{-1}$), which include O I and Fe II. We found the kinetic luminosity of this component to be at most ~2.4% of the quasar's Eddington luminosity. This is near the amount required to contribute to AGN feedback. We also examined the time-variability of a C IV mini-BAL found at $v$ = -8700 km s${}^{-1}$, which shows a shallower and narrower absorption feature attached to it in previous SDSS observations from 2000 and 2001, but not in the spectra from 2005 and onwards.
