- W3099033963 abstract "SDSS repeat spectroscopic observations have resulted in multiepoch spectroscopy for ~2500 quasars observed more than 50 days apart. From this sample, calibrating against stars observed simultaneously, we identify 315 quasars that have varied significantly between observations (with respect to assumed nonvariable stars observed concurrently). These variable quasars range in redshift from 0.5 to 4.72. This is the first large quasar sample studied spectroscopically for variability and represents a potentially useful sample for future high-redshift reverberation mapping studies. This also marks the first time the precise wavelength dependence of quasar variability has been determined, allowing both the continuum and emission-line variability to be studied. We create an ensemble difference spectrum (bright phase minus faint phase) covering rest-frame wavelengths from 1000 to 6000 Å. This average difference spectrum is bluer than the average single-epoch quasar spectrum; a power-law fit to the difference spectrum yields a spectral index αλ = -2.00, compared to an index of αλ = -1.35 for the single-epoch spectrum. This confirms that quasar continua are bluer when brighter. The difference spectrum also exhibits very weak or absent emission-line features; the strongest emission lines vary only 30% as much as the continuum. This small emission-line variability with respect to the continuum is consistent with the intrinsic Baldwin effect. Due to the lack of variability of the lines, measured photometric color is not always bluer in brighter phases but depends on redshift and the filters used. Lastly, the difference spectrum is bluer than the ensemble quasar spectrum only for λrest < 2500 Å, indicating that the variability cannot result from a simple scaling of the average quasar spectrum." @default.
