| Popis: | We performed spectroscopic observations of the small-separation lensed quasar SDSS J1001+5027, whose images have an angular separation q = 2 ''.86, and placed constraints on the physical properties of gas clouds in the vicinity of the quasar (i.e., in the outflowing wind launched from the accretion disk). The two cylinders of sight to the two lensed images go through the same region of the outflowing wind and they become fully separated with no overlap at a very large distance from the source (similar to 330 pc). We discovered a clear difference in the profile of the C IV broad absorption line (BAL) detected in the two lensed images in two observing epochs. Because the kinematic components in the BAL profile do not vary in concert, the observed variations cannot be reproduced by a simple change of ionization state. If the variability is due to gas motion around the background source (i.e., the continuum source), the corresponding rotational velocity is v(rot) >= 18,000 km s(-1), and their distance from the source is r Article ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL.854(1):69(2018) |
