During the course of Hamburg/CfA Bright Quasar Survey we discovered a bright (B=15.9), high redshift (z=2.51) quasar HS 1603+3820. The quasar has a rich complex of CIV absorbers, containing at least five systems, all within 3000 km/s from one another. Despite large ejection velocity (v(ej)>5000 km/s for all components) the complex is likely to be associated with the quasar. There are at least three more associated heavy element absorbers, two of which have z(abs)>z(em). Together, they make one of the richest known complexes of associated heavy element absorbers, and the richest in objects with B<16. The combination of redshift, brightness, richness of the metal absorption spectrum and richness of the associated absorption is unmatched among known quasars.
We present the analysis of multi-wavelength observations of bright quasar HS1603+3820: the optical data taken with the MMT and Keck telescopes, and X-ray data obtained with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The optical spectra contain a very large numbe
We report the discovery of a Jupiter-size planet transiting a relatively bright (V = 11.56) and metal-rich early K dwarf star with a period of about 2.9 days. On the basis of follow-up photometry and spectroscopy we determine the mass and radius of t
We present Keck Cosmic Web Imager spectroscopy of the four putative images of the lensed quasar candidate J014709+463037 recently discovered by Berghea et al. (2017). The data verify the source as a quadruply lensed, broad absorption-line quasar havi
The redshift range from 2.2 to 3, is known as the redshift desert of quasars because quasars with redshift in this range have similar optical colors as normal stars and are thus difficult to be found in optical sky surveys. A quasar candidate, SDSS J
Distant luminous quasars provide important information on the growth of the first supermassive black holes, their host galaxies and the epoch of reionization. The identification of quasars is usually performed through detection of their Lyman-$alpha$
