A Mini-BAL outflow at 900 pc from the central source: VLT/X-shooter observations.

Abstract (from CDS):

We determine the physical conditions and location of the outflow material seen in the mini-BAL quasar SDSS J1111+1437 (z = 2.138). These results are based on the analysis of a high S/N, medium-resolution VLT/X-shooter spectrum. The main outflow component spans the velocity range -1500 to -3000 km s–1 and has detected absorption troughs from both high-ionization species: C IV, N V, O VI, Si IV, P V, and S IV; and low-ionization species: H I, C II, Mg II, Al II, Al III, Si II, and Si III. Measurements of these troughs allow us to derive an accurate photoionization solution for this absorption component: a hydrogen column density, log(NH)=21.47–0.27+0.21 cm–2 and ionization parameter, log(UH)=-1.23–0.25+0.20. Troughs produced from the ground and excited states of S IV combined with the derived UH value allow us to determine an electron number density of log(ne)=3.62–0.11+0.09 cm–3 and to obtain the distance of the ionized gas from the central source: R=880–260+210 pc.
