Principal Component Analysis of QSO UV spectra

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

From a principal component analysis (PCA) of 78 z~3 high-quality quasar spectra in the SDSS-DR7 we derive the principal components that characterize the QSO continuum over the full available wavelength range.

Description

The shape of the mean continuum is similar to that measured at low-z (z~1), but the equivalent width of the emission lines is larger at low redshift. We calculate the correlation between fluxes at different wavelengths and find that the emission line fluxes in the red part of the spectrum are correlated with those in the blue part.

We construct a projection matrix to predict the continuum in the Lyman{alpha} forest from the red part of the spectrum.
