| Abstract: |
By making use of high spatial resolution of Subaru 8.2m Telescope and IRCS
Echelle spectrograph, we obtained high-resolution near-infrared spectra of images A and B (AB ∼ 0''.5) of the gravitationally lensed QSO
B1422+231 (z = 3.628) consisting of four known lensed images. We detected MgII and FeII absorption lines at
z = 3.54, which show a large variance of column densities
and velocities between the sightlines A and B
with a projected separation of only 8.4 h70–1 pc at the
redshift. The observed systematic variances between images A and B imply
that the absorbing gas cloud is an expanding shell of a supernova remnant (SNR) as originally
suggested by Rauch et al. for images A and C.
Along with the Fe richness of the gas cloud, we conclude that the SNR is produced by a SNIa explosion. |
