Physics

Scientific paper

We propose to observe 10 optically bright BALQSOs with short (5-10 ks) Chandra observations aimed at searching for any strong X-ray variability. The targets include the optically brightest BALQSOs in the sky that already have sensitive archival X-ray observations with Chandra, XMM-Newton, or earlier missions. Our goal with these short observations is to perform a basic exploratory survey for strong X-ray variability in a sample of respectable size. We will be exploring important rest-frame timescales of up to about 5-8 years for the first time in an effective manner.
