Scientific paper

We propose a UV spectroscopic snapshot survey of bright AGN, quadrupling the number of Seyferts UV spectra and adding dozens of new quasars, aimed at the following goals: beginenumerate em Finding the relationship between the intrinsic luminosity of the AGN and the maximum velocity {and width} of the outflow emanating from it, and determining the frequency of outflows in low-z AGN as a function of luminosity. em Surveying IGM absorption line systems in numerous new sight-lines. em Identifying promising targets for observations with the future highly sensitive Cosmic Origin Spectrograph. endenumerate A 35-minute snapshot with exposures in either the G140L or G230L will yield spectra with a minimum S/N > 15 per resolution element at all wavelengths for all our potential targets. This will allow us to be sensitive to absorption lines to a limiting equivalent width of 0.3 Angstrom at the 3 Sigma level. In order to facilitate rapid observational followup, we waive the data proprietary period entirely.
