Deep absorption in SDSS J110511.15+530806.5

Abstract

We study the origin of the anomalous deep absorption in a spectrum of the SDSS J110511.15+530806.5 distant quasar (z=1.929) obtained by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey in Data Release 7 of the optical catalog. We aim to estimate the velocity of absorbing material, and we show that this material considerably affects our measurements of the black hole (BH) mass in massive quasars with the use of common virial mass estimators. The spectral shape of the quasar was modeled assuming that the accretion disk emission is influenced by a hot corona, warm skin, and absorbing material located close to the nucleus. The whole analysis was undertaken with XSPEC models and tools. The overall spectral shape was represented with the AGNSED model, while the deep absorption is well described by two Gaussians. The observed spectrum and the fitting procedure allowed us to estimate the BH mass in the quasar as $3.52\pm 0.01\times 10^9{M}_{\odot }$, the nonzero BH spin is $a_{\ast }=0.32\pm 0.04$, and the accretion rate is $\dot{m}=0.274\pm 0.001$. The velocities of the detected absorbers lie in the range of 6330-108135 km/s. When we consider that absorption is caused by the CIV ion, one absorber is folding toward the nucleus with a velocity of 73887 km/s. We derived a BI index of about 20300 km/s and a mass outflow rate up to 38.5 % of the source accretion rate. The high absorption observed in SDSS J110511.15+530806.5 is evidence of fast winds that place the source in the group of objects on the border with UFO (ultra-fast outflows), strong broad absorption line (BAL), and fast failed radiatively accelerated dusty outflow (FRADO). This absorption affects the BH mass measurement by two orders of magnitude as compared to virial mass estimation.
