Absorption features in SDSS. I. MgII abs. doublets
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
Using the SDSS spectra of quasars included in the DR7Q or DR12Q catalogs, we search for MgII{lambda}{lambda}2796,2803 narrow absorption doublets in the spectra data around MgII{lambda}2798 emission lines.
Description
We obtain 17316 MgII doublets, within the redshift range of 0.3299<=z_abs_<=2.5663. We find that a velocity offset of {upsilon}_r_<6000km/s is a safe boundary to constrain the vast majority of associated Mg ii systems, although we find some doublets at {upsilon}_r_>6000km/s.
If associated Mg ii absorbers are defined by {upsilon}_r_<6000km/s, ~33.3% of the absorbers are supposed to be contaminants of intervening systems. Removing the 33.3% contaminants, ~4.5% of the quasars present at least one associated MgII system with W_r_^{lambda}2796^>=0.2{AA}. The fraction of associated MgII systems with high-velocity outflows correlates with the average luminosities of their central quasars, indicating a relationship between outflows and the quasar feedback power.

The {upsilon}_r_ distribution of the outflow MgII absorbers is peaked at 1023km/s, which is smaller than the corresponding value of the outflow CIV absorbers. The redshift number density evolution of absorbers (dn/dz) limited by {upsilon}_r_{>}-3000km/s differs from that of absorbers constrained by {upsilon}_r_>2000km/s. Absorbers limited by {upsilon}_r_>2000km/s and higher values exhibit profiles similar to dn/dz.
In addition, the dn/dz is smaller when absorbers are constrained with larger {upsilon}_r_. The distributions of equivalent widths, and the ratio of W_r_^{lambda}2796^/W_r_^{lambda}2803^, are the same for associated and intervening systems, and independent of quasar luminosity.
