Abstract

High speed winds from quasars interact with the gas and stars in a surrounding galaxy and produce a variety of effects. The winds sweep up the general interstellar matter into fast moving shells of cool gas which can produce lower velocity (≲, 0.01c) sharp absorption line systems. The impact of the wind on dense interstellar clouds may contribute to the narrow emission line region. Finally, supernovae or stellar winds near the QSO set up shock waves in the outflow. Shocked QSO wind material is responsible for the broad emission line material.
