Classifying broad absorption line quasars: metrics, issues and a new catalogue constructed from SDSS DR5

We apply a recently developed method for classifying broad absorption line quasars (BALQSOs) to the latest quasi-stellar object (QSO) catalogue constructed from Data Release 5 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Our new hybrid classification scheme combines the power of simple metrics, supervised neural networks and visual inspection. In our view, the resulting BALQSO catalogue is both more complete and more robust than all previous BALQSO catalogues, containing 3552 sources selected from a parent sample of 28 421 QSOs in the redshift range  1.7 < z < 4.2  . This equates to a raw BALQSO fraction of 12.5 per cent.
In the process of constructing a robust catalogue, we shed light on the main problems encountered when dealing with BALQSO classification, many of which arise due to the lack of a proper physical definition of what constitutes a BAL. This introduces some subjectivity in what is meant by the term BALQSO, and because of this, we also provide all of the meta-data used in constructing our catalogue, for every object in the parent QSO sample. This makes it easy to quickly isolate and explore subsamples constructed with different metrics and techniques. By constructing composite QSO spectra from subsamples classified according to the meta-data, we show that no single existing metric produces clean and robust BALQSO classifications. Rather, we demonstrate that a variety of complementary metrics are required at the moment to accomplish this task. Along the way, we confirm the finding that BALQSOs are redder than non-BALQSOs and that the raw BALQSO fraction displays an apparent trend with signal-to-noise ratio steadily increasing from 9 per cent in low signal-to-noise ratio data up to 15 per cent.

“金丝砗磲”研究初探

最近,在北京珠宝市场上出现了大量的＂金丝砗磲＂。通过常规宝石学检测和紫外-可见光吸收光谱测试,对其进行了初步研究。结果表明,此种＂金丝砗磲＂并不是砗磲,而是一种海洋腹足纲类海螺贝经染色而成的饰品。该海螺贝呈螺旋状层状构造,可以通过其表面颜色不均、黄色部分不透明、黄色部分无荧光加以鉴别,也可以采用紫外-可见光分光光度计测试加以鉴别。     

The absorption of water color components and spectral modes in the Pearl River estuary

In-situ data from cruises in the Pearl River estuary and adjacent marine areas were collected during March to May 2001. The absorption coefficients of the water color components were studied in detail containing total suspended matter (TSM), chlorophyll-a (chl-a), colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM), and de-pigment particles. For absorption coefficient of TSM, ap, and that of de-pigment particles, ad, correlations of ap(440)-TSM, ad(440)-TSM, ap(440)-chl-a and ad-chl-a were done (the italicized term means the concentration). There was a good correlation between ap(440) and chl-a concentration. An empirical relationship model between aph(675) and chl-a was developed showing a strong correlation of 0.93. Based on the two models the chl-a and aph(λ) were correlated. The values of calculated empirical spectral slope for CDOM absorption coefficients and that of de-pigment particles, 0.017 0 and 0.011 6 respectively, both are within a relative standard error of 10.0%.

The NO2 absorption spectrum. I: Absorption cross-sections at ambient temperature in the 300–500 nm region

New laboratory measurements of NO₂ absorption cross-sections have been performed between 300 and 500 nm at ambient temperature with improved experimental conditions: low gas pressures, long absorption paths, suitable absorbance values, narrow spectral bandwidths. The data, stored at 0.01 nm intervals, have been compared to those of the more recent studies and some reasons of disagreement are discussed.In the photolysis region below 400 nm, our absorption cross-sections are larger than those previously published, suggesting that the photodissociation coefficient calculated from the current data sets is underestimated. In the structured region of the spectrum above 400 nm, improvement of the resolution gives more precise values useful for optical measurements in atmosphere.Unité de Recherche Associée au CNRS.
