In this article, we study the variability of Si iv and C iv broad absorption lines (BALs) between two different epochs in the case of 10 broad absorption-line quasi-stellar objects (BALQSOs). By performing multicomponent analysis of Si iv and C iv broad absorption troughs, we analyse each BAL trough to find the individual and uniquely determined nu...

ASTA is a new spectral analysis software aiming to serve the growing need of an integrated computing environment which will implement efficiently the demanding process of multicomponent analysis. It is a cutting-edge spectral multicomponent analysis software for displaying, fitting and analyzing astronomical spectra of complex emission and absorpti...

In this paper we analyze the C IV and Si IV broad absorption troughs of two BALQSOs (J101056.69+355833.3, J114548.38+393746.6) to the individual components they consist of. By analyzing a BAL trough to its components we have the advantage to study the variations of the individual absorbing systems in the line of sight and not just the variations of...

Broad Absorption Line QSOs (BALQSOs) are a subtype of radio-quite QSOs that exhibit complex and unusually broad (FWHM ≥ 2,000 km/s) absorption lines. The existence of these lines in BALQSO spectra raises some questions with respect to the properties, the physical conditions and kinematics of the BAL material as well as the morphology of BAL troughs...

We investigate the physical conditions and kinematics of broad absorption line region clouds of Si IV in 21 HiBAL Quasars. We use the Danezis et al. method [1], [2], [3] in order to fit and analyze the broad absorption troughs of Si IV resonance lines in the UV region of the electromagnetic spectrum. We find that the BAL flow is not smooth but inst...

Most of the Broad Absorption Lines (BALs) in quasars show very complex profiles. An idea to explain these profiles is that the dynamical systems of broad line regions are not homogeneous but consist of a number of dense regions or ion populations with different physical parameters. This approach is used to study the ultraviolet CIV resonance lines...
