The dependence of quasar variability on black hole mass
M. Wold, M. S. Brotherton, Z. Shang
In order to investigate the dependence of quasar variability on fundamental physical parameters like black hole mass, we have matched quasars from the QUEST1 Variability Survey wit…
Hubble Space Telescope Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of Fourteen Low-Redshift Quasars
Rajib Ganguly, Michael S. Brotherton, Nahum Arav +35
We present low-resolution ultraviolet spectra of 14 low redshift (z<0.8) quasars observed with HST/STIS as part of a Snap project to understand the relationship between quasar outf…
Spectropolarimetry of PKS 0040-005 and the Orientation of Broad Absorption Line Quasars
Michael S. Brotherton, Carlos De Breuck, Justin J. Schaefer
We have used the Very Large Telescope (VLT) to obtain spectropolarimetry of the radio-loud, double-lobed broad absorption line (BAL) quasar PKS 0040-005. We find that the optical c…
XMM-Newton Detection of the Rare FR II BAL Quasar FIRST J101614.3+520916
Justin J. Schaefer, Michael S. Brotherton, Zhaohui Shang +5
We have detected FIRST J101614.3+520916 with the XMM-Newton X-ray Observatory. FIRST J101614.3+520916, one of the most extreme radio-loud, broad absorption line (BAL) quasars so fa…
Star Formation in QSO Host Galaxies
Gabriela Canalizo, Alan Stockton, Michael S. Brotherton +1
Many of the conditions that are necessary for starbursts appear to be important in the triggering of QSOs. However, it is still debatable whether starbursts are ubiquitously presen…
