The Dependence of C IV Broad Absorption Line Properties on Accompanying Si IV and Al III Absorption: Relating Quasar-Wind Ionization Levels, Kinematics, and Column Densities

N. Filiz Ak, W. N. Brandt, P. B. Hall +10

We consider how the profile and multi-year variability properties of a large sample of C IV Broad Absorption Line (BAL) troughs change when BALs from Si IV and/or Al III are presen…

Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the Lyα forest of BOSS DR11 quasars

Timothée Delubac, Julian E. Bautista, Nicolás G. Busca +35

We report a detection of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature in the flux-correlation function of the Lyα forest of high-redshift quasars with a statistical significance o…

Broad Absorption Line Variability on Multi-Year Timescales in a Large Quasar Sample

N. Filiz Ak, W. N. Brandt, P. B. Hall +10

We present a detailed investigation of the variability of 428 C IV and 235 Si IV Broad Absorption Line (BAL) troughs identified in multi-epoch observations of 291 quasars by the Sl…

Column density distribution and cosmological mass density of neutral gas: Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III Data Release 9

P. Noterdaeme, P. Petitjean, W. C. Carithers +19

We present the first results from an ongoing survey for Damped Lyman-alpha systems (DLAs) in the spectra of z>2 quasars observed in the course of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscop…
