Quasar Absorption Lines
My main interest is all related to quasars absorption liens.
Quasars have been used as background sources to study the gaseous
phases of a variety of objects that are located along our sight-lines
to quasars and producing absorption lines on spectra of the
quasars. Examples of such objects include not only intervening
absorbers such as intervening galaxies, the intergalactic medium,
clouds in the halo of the Milky Way, and the host galaxies of
the quasars themselves, but also intrinsic absorbers that are
physically associated to the quasar central engines.
