We present Subaru observations of the newly discovered luminous quasar AKARI J1757+5907, which shows an absorption outflow in its spectrum. The absorption consists of 9 distinct troughs, and our analysis focuses on the troughs at ~ -1000$ km s^{-1} for which we can measure accurate column densities of He I*, Fe II and Mg II. We use photoionization models to constrain the ionization parameter, total hydrogen column density, and the number density of the outflowing gas. These constraints yield lower limits for the distance, mass flow rate and kinetic luminosity for the outflow of 3.7 kpc, 70 M_{sun} yr^{-1}, and 2.0 x 10^{43} ergs s^{-1}, respectively. Such mass flow rate value can contribute significantly to the metal enrichment of the intra-cluster medium. We find that this moderate velocity outflow is similar to those recently discovered in massive post-starburst galaxies. Finally, we describe the scientific potential of future observations targeting this object.
We present a detailed analysis of the Astrophysical Research Consortium 3.5 m telescope spectrum of QSO SDSS J0838+2955. The object shows three broad absorption line (BAL) systems at 22,000, 13,000, and 4900 km s^-1 blueshifted from the systemic reds
We present a new sample of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) identified using the catalog of the AKARI Mid-infrared(MIR) All-Sky Survey. Our MIR search has an advantage in detecting AGNs that are obscured at optical wavelengths due to extinction. We firs
SDSS J1356+1026 is a pair of interacting galaxies at redshift z=0.123 that hosts a luminous obscured quasar in its northern nucleus. Here we present two long-slit Magellan LDSS-3 spectra that reveal a pair of symmetric ~10 kpc-size outflows emerging
We present observations of SDF-05M05, an unusual optical transient discovered in the Subaru Deep Field (SDF). The duration of the transient is > ~800 d in the observer frame, and the maximum brightness during observation reached approximately 23 mag
In order to construct a sample of ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs, with infrared luminosity, $L_{rm IR} > 10^{12}$ L$_{odot}$) at 0.5 < z < 1, we are conducting an optical follow-up program for bright 90-$mu$m FIR sources with a faint optica
