Confirmation of the emisison-line redshift of the BL Lac object PKS 0215 + 015

Journal Article · · Astron. J.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6465636
Spectroscopic observations of the BL Lac object PKS 0215 + 015 during a faint phase are presented. Lyman-alpha and C IV 1548, 1550 A broad emission lines are seen at a redshift z = 1.715. This observation confirms the earlier redshift estimate, which was based upon the absorption-line spectrum observed when the object was approximately three mag brighter. 8 references.
