Quasars, Photoionization Of Atoms And Ions, Plasma Simulation

Scientific paper

Quasars are among the most luminous objects in the universe, and the most distant for which we can obtain good spectroscopy. These spectra carry with them information about the formation of the first large structures in the universe and the first generations of star formation in newly born galaxies. The spectrum of a quasar has strong broad emission lines, formed by a non-equilibrium low-density photoionized gas. This spectrum can best be interpreted by reference to large-scale simulations of the full environment. This in turn is strongly coupled to many basic plasma physics questions. Here we discuss the current status of quasar research, numerical plasma simulations, and the atomic database.
