Scientific paper

Recent spectroscopic observations in the UV band have revealed high velocity outflows in Narrow Absorption Line (NAL) quasars. We propose to initiate an exploratory survey to identify high velocity outflows of X-ray absorbing material in NAL quasars. We will search for possible correlations between the amount of X-ray absorption and UV properties of the wind to better understand the acceleration mechanism of quasar winds. We will place the absorbers of NAL quasars in the context of other outflow phenomena and test models for their nature. The detected X-ray brightest objects from the proposed survey will be followed up with deeper observations to constrain better the kinematic and ionization properties of the absorbers and ultimately constrain the mass outflow rates of NAL quasars.
