Scientific paper

We propose to observe with Chandra/ACIS-S3 a bright (B=15.9), radio-quiet z=2.51 quasar HS 1630+3820. This object has arguably the most spectacular heavy element absorption spectrum of all known quasars. A tight cluster of associated absorbers shows a multitude of components from various species in various ionization stages making it an ideal candidate for the warm absorber studies. Combination of information provided by X-ray and optical observations gives a powerful tool to study the physical conditions in quasar circumnuclear material. This will be one of only a few high-z radio quiet objects observed in X-rays and the presence or absence of absorption will carry significant weight in the debate whether absorption properties of radio-loud and radio-quiet quasars are different.
