Physics

Scientific paper

We propose to obtain short Chandra snapshots of a a well-defined sample of the optically-brightest radio-quiet quasars (QSOs) in the SDSS Data Release 5 QSO catalog which host CIV broad absorption lines (BALs) with velocity widths between 1000 and 2000 km/s. We will compare the X-ray properties of this ``mini-BAL'' QSO sample to those of unabsorbed QSOs and also to traditional BAL QSOs, which have velocity widths >2000 km/s and are typically strongly X-ray absorbed. This will enable us to extend studies of BAL QSO X-ray properties to a new regime, and will also test whether mini-BAL QSOs are physically similar to BAL QSOs or are a separate population of objects.
