Quasar Massive Ionized Outflows Traced by CIV λ1549 and [OIII]λλ4959,5007

The most luminous quasars (with bolometric luminosities are ≳ 1047 erg/s) show a high prevalence of CIV λ1549 and [OIII]λλ4959,5007 emission line profiles with strong blueshifts. Blueshifts are interpreted as due to Doppler effect and selective obscuration, and indicate outflows occurring over a wid...
