Scientific paper

High velocity outflows are ubiquitous in quasars and an important part of SMBH evolution. They might even be necessary to carry away angular momentum and facilitate disk accretion. Studies of broad absorption line (BAL) quasars have revealed large X-ray absorbing columns and some tentative UV-X-ray correlations consistent with radiative acceleration in accretion disk winds. But BALs are only part of the story - sampling a narrow range of flow types or viewing angles. We propose XMM observations of quasars with high-velocity mini-BALs and weak/borderline BALs to extend the range of measured outflow parameters, test the BAL correlations/physical models, and solidify constraints on the global wind geometry, orientation, acceleration, mass loss rates, launch radii, etc.
