Broad Absorption Line Quasar catalogues with Supervised Neural Networks (2008)
Scaringi, Simone, Cottis, Christopher E., Knigge, Christian, Goad, Michael R.
We have applied a Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) algorithm to SDSS DR5 quasar spectra in order to create a large catalogue of broad absorption line quasars (BALQSOs). We first discuss the...
The Intrinsic Fraction of Broad Absorption Line Quasars (2008)
Knigge, Christian, Scaringi, Simone, Goad, Michael R., Cottis, Christopher E.
We carefully reconsider the problem of classifying broad absorption line quasars (BALQSOs) and derive a new, unbiased estimate of the intrinsic BALQSO fraction from the SDSS DR3 QSO catalogue. We...
