Quasar Research: A Joint Project of the University of Arizona and the Carnegie Institute of Washington

这项资助下的研究是一项 非常成功的R. Weymann和S.的莫里斯 华盛顿卡内基研究所和C.福尔茨角Impey和F. 亚利桑那大学的查菲。 这些研究人员，广泛 被认为是世界领导者在他们的领域，将完成一个 光学调查超过1000明亮的类星体使用广泛的基础和 可量化的选择标准。 这种新的观测材料 将被用来进行一些以前不可能的研究。 其中将探测一个非常大的超星系团， 吸收体躺在前面的几个类星体，研究的 类星体中的无线电功率和光功率之间的关系， 非热光学之间可能联系的研究 类星体及其VLBI射电辐射的性质。

The research supported under this grant is the continuation of a very successful joint project of R. Weymann and S. Morris of the Carnegie Institution of Washington and C. Foltz, C. Impey, and F. Chaffee of the University of Arizona. These investigators, widely considered to be world leaders in their field, will complete an optical survey of over 1000 bright quasars using broadly based and quantifiable selection criteria. This new observational material will be used to make a number of studies not previously possible. Among these will be a probe of a very large supercluster of absorbers lying in front of several quasars, studies of the relationship between radio and optical power in quasars, and investigations of possible links between nonthermal optical properties of quasars and their VLBI radio emission.
