Technique for detecting warm-hot intergalactic gas in quasar UV spectra
Luc Binette, Mario Rodriguez-Martinez, Sinhue Haro-Corzo +1
The ionizing spectral energy distribution of quasars exhibits a steepening of the distribution shortward of ~ 1200 A. The change of the power-law index from approximately -1 (near-…

The spectral index of the ionizing continuum of quasars
L. Binette, M. Rodriguez-Martinez, I. Ballinas
The ionizing spectral energy distribution of quasars exhibits a steepening of the distribution short-ward of 1200 A. The change of the power-law index from approximately -1 to -2 s…

The Intergalactic Medium and the Energy Distribution of Quasars
Luc Binette, Mario Rodriguez-Martinez, Isidro Ballinas
The ionizing spectral energy distribution of quasars is known to exhibit a steepening of the distribution short-ward of 1050Å. It has been assumed that this change of power-law ind…
