SUMMARY OF SEQUENCE NUMBER 700138
Title: THE ULTRA-HIGH VELOCITY (-56,000 KM/S) ABSORBER IN THE QSO PG2302+029
Observer: HAMANN
Subject Category: Active Galaxies and Quasars
Seq: 700138 ObsId: 00833
Long-term Plan bin: 5-Jan-2000
ABSTRACT
We will combine new AXAF/ACIS-S-BI spectra with existing and forthcoming HST UV spectra to study the extreme high-velocity absorber (detached by ~56,000 km/s from the emission redshift) in the bright (V = 16.0) QSO, PG 2302+029. The UV line profiles have moderate widths (FWHM ~ 4000 km/s) but the outflow velocities are higher than in any previously measured system. Our combined X-ray and UV observations should 1) determine for the first time if there is OUTFLOWING X-ray absorption in QSOs, 2) improve our understanding of QSO metal abundances, and 3) yield the best information to date on the physical conditions, the acceleration mechanism(s), and the relationship between UV and X-ray absorption in QSO outflows.
