Scientific paper

Energetic outflows are important components of quasar environments. They give rise to a variety of UV absorption lines in quasar spectra and they are believed to originate from the inner accretion disk. In some sources, there is direct evidence for the UV lines forming in an outflow very near the central engine based on partial coverage of the background light source. However, in some of these same absorbers, there is also contradictory evidence for low densities that require extremely large distances (>10kpc to >100kpc) based on photoionization. We propose Chandra ACIS-S observations that will either resolve or confirm this contradiction and thereby test our understanding of basic outflow properties.
