Revealing the Physical Driver of the Baldwin Effect: Gas Density in the Broad-Line Region
Wen-Qiang Liang, Zhi-Fu Chen, Rui-Jing Lu +8
The paper shows that the Baldwin effect in quasars is mainly driven by the gas density in the broad-line region, with higher Eddington ratios producing denser BLRs and shallower eq…
Synchrotron Circular Polarization in Gamma-Ray Burst Prompt Optical Emission: Relativistic Thermal Electron Contribution
Kangfa Cheng, Jirong Mao, Xiaohong Zhao +4
Synchrotron circular polarization of a non-thermal power-law electron distribution in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has been studied. However, some numerical simulations have shown that…
The infrared traced star formation rates of associated absorption lines quasars
Zhe-Geng Chen, Rui-Jing Lu, Zhi-Fu Chen +4
Some optically selected quasars exhibit Mg II assoicated absorption lines (AALs), and its origin remains unclear. In this paper, we compile a sample of 1769 quasars, with or withou…
Narrow [O III] emission lines as a potential proxy for the evolutionary stage of quasars
Zhi-fu Chen, Zhe-Geng Chen, Xing-long Peng +1
Radio spectral shape of quasars can provide insight into the ages of quasars. We have compiled data for 1804 quasars with from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Add…
