3 Coevolution of SMBH & Galaxy? Di Matteo+(2005) Nature Remaining galaxy with very little gas but a large SMBH. ← Simulation - Color: temperature - Brightness: gas density When the galaxies and their black holes collide a quasar is ignited which expels most of the gas in a strong wind.

4 Rapidly growing Black Holes Log (M BH / M ◎ ) Log (L/L Edd ) 5 6 7 8 9 10 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 Low-luminosity AGN ( Seyfert ) Quasar NLS1 BALQSO ■ Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxy (NLS1) ■ Broad Absorption Line Quasar (BALQSO)

5 Broad Absorption Line (BAL) quasars 2,000 km/s – 0.3c blue-shifted absorption line -> high-velocity outflow C IV

6 Why BAL in ~30% of QSO? Evolutionary scenario Some quasars in an episodic or young phase have BAL outflows. = depending on the duration of the phase e.g, Becker et al., 2000; Gregg et al., 2000 Orientation scenario Every quasar has BAL outflowing toward nearly edge-on directions. = depending on viewing angle e.g, Elvis 2000; Murray et al., 1995 KEY measurement: ORIENTATION / AGE

7 Photon-pressure-driven outflow Simulation: Proga, Stone, and Kallman (2000) densityvelocity ~ 0.1 pc BHdisk BAL could be found, when observed from edge-on ?

8 Orientation Measurement by VLBI imaging 1. Doppler Boosting 2. Super-Luminal motion Ex., NGC 4261 ( Piner et al. 2001 ) Approaching jets 1. boosted, 2. faster Receding jets 1. deboosted, 2. slower ■ Apparent asymmetry : δ, β app ( φ, β)

11 Sample Selection Radio Identification ・ VLA FIRST 1.4 GHz ・ 1 mJy Parent sample ( optical ) ・ SDSS 3DR ・ ⇒ Quasars: 46,420 ・ ⇒ BAL quasars: 4,784 (Trump et al. 2006) SDSS VLA

12 Sample Selection: Result ■ VLA covered the area for 4374/4784 objects (91.4%) ■ 492 objects found (FIRST BAL = 11.2% SDSS BAL) 1 st priority: 23 object ( >100 mJy ) Histogram of radio-detected BAL quasars N

14 Result: Baseline-detection snapshots ■ 21/23 detected → T B > 10^6 K ■ 4/21 showing inverted spectra ( S vs. S ) ⇒ core dominated ⇒ beaming? ( ν obs = δ rest ν ) Coexistence: nonthermal jet & thermal outflow (magnetic-pressure-driven & radiative-pressure-driven) Some BAL quasars have pole-on viewed relativistic jets?

18 Summary ■ VLBI contributions to studies of BALQSOs - Jet Asymmetry -> ORIENTATION - Size -> AGE ■ our JVN/OCTAVE observations - 21/23 detections - coexistence of nonthermal/thermal outflows - 2/4 inverted spectra - unresolved - pole-on viewed? / young? ■ A VLBA proposal accepted !! (L/C/X-bands) for 6 BALQSOs

19 radio-quiet NLS1s (Doi et al. submitted) radio-loud NLS1s (Doi et al. 2006 PASJ, Doi et al. to be submitted.) NLS1s can generate nonthermal jets; highly relativistic (Dopper-beamed) in some sources DESPITE OF SMALL BHs !!
