Mock Quasar-Lyman-α Forest Data-sets for the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey
Julian E. Bautista, Stephen Bailey, Andreu Font-Ribera +15
We describe mock data-sets generated to simulate the high-redshift quasar sample in Data Release 11 (DR11) of the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). The mock…
Cosmological implications of baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements
Éric Aubourg, Stephen Bailey, Julian E. Bautista +90
We derive constraints on cosmological parameters and tests of dark energy models from the combination of baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements with cosmic microwave backgr…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Technical Overview
Yue Shen, W. N. Brandt, Kyle S. Dawson +36
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping project (SDSS-RM) is a dedicated multi-object RM experiment that has spectroscopically monitored a sample of 849 broad-line quasa…
A ~6 Mpc overdensity at z = 2.7 detected along a pair of quasar sight lines: filament or protocluster?
Hayley Finley, Patrick Petitjean, Pasquier Noterdaeme +1
Simulations predict that gas in the intergalactic medium (IGM) is distributed in filamentary structures that connect dense galaxy clusters and form the cosmic web. These structures…
A Glimpse at Quasar Host Galaxy Far-UV Emission, Using DLAs as Natural Coronagraphs
Zheng Cai, Xiaohui Fan, Pasquier Noterdaeme +12
In merger-driven models of massive galaxy evolution, the luminous quasar phase is expected to be accompanied by vigorous star formation in quasar host galaxies. In this paper, we u…
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…
