This program will study quasar outflows to test the evolutionary paradigm that links quasars and supermassive black holes to their host galaxies. This will be accomplished via observational and theoretical work on quasar accretion disk outflows that will derive the kinematics, densities, ionization levels, and driving mechanisms of the flows. Elemental abundances in quasar environments will also be addressed, as will the relationship between quasars and host galaxy evolution via use of submillimeter-wavelength measurements. Broader impacts of the work include research training of undergraduate and graduate students, implementation of a clicker system of classroom response for introductory classes, and public lectures.

该计划将研究类星体外流，以测试类星体和超大质量黑洞与其宿主星系之间的进化范式。 这将通过类星体吸积盘外流的观测和理论工作来完成，这些工作将推导出运动学、密度、电离水平和流动的驱动机制。 类星体环境中的元素丰度也将得到解决，类星体与宿主星系演化之间的关系也将通过使用亚毫米波长测量来解决。 这项工作的更广泛的影响包括本科生和研究生的研究培训，实施课堂反应的入门课程和公开讲座的点击器系统。
