Description
Pennsylvania state university the UV dependence of the physical properties of quasars we propose to determine how the physical characteristics of quasars, e.g, black hole mass, accretion rate, luminosity, and line strength, are related to their UV properties. We will use the galex GR2 archive cross-matched with the sdss DR5 quasar catalog to construct a dataset of UV to optical parameters for nearly 30,000 spectroscopically confirmed quasars. From our previous work on over 6300.grlisdss matched quasars (trammell ET AL, 2006), we expect a 50% detection rate of sdss quasars in the galex dataset in both the NUV and FUV bands (85% for NUV detections alone). UV data for the vast majority of the cross-matched quasars has been obtained only by galex. The large dataset will allow for the unambiguous separation of UV dependencies on up to four parameters. Measurements of the continuum luminosity, black hole mass, and emission line strength parameters from sdss spectra are being made. Each of these properties is expected to be related to the spectral shape of the UV portion of the SED, shortward of LY-a emission. We will construct complete UV through optical seds ofthe very large dataset, correlate the UV properties with the measured physical parameters, and directly test theoretical predictions for these relationships.
