HST/COS obs. of QSO outflows in 500-1050{AA}. VII.

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

From Hubble Space Telescope/Cosmic Origins Spectrograph spectra of five quasars, 16 outflows are detected.

Description

For 11 outflows, we are able to constrain their distances to the central source (R) and their energetics. In instances of multiple electron number density determinations (used in the calculation of R) for the same outflow, the values are consistent within errors.

For the 11 outflows, eight have measurements for R (between 10 and 1000pc), one has a lower limit, another has an upper limit, and the last has a range in R. There are two outflows that have enough kinetic luminosity to be major contributors to active galactic nucleus feedback. The outflowing mass is found primarily in a very high-ionization phase, which is probed using troughs from, e.g., Ne VIII, Na IX, Mg X, and Si XII.

Such ions connect the physical conditions of these ultraviolet outflows to the X-ray warm absorber outflows seen in nearby Seyfert galaxies. The ion Cl VII and several new transitions from Ne V have been detected for the first time.
