Abstract :
[en] Line profile calculations are performed within the framework of the Sobolev approximation in order to simulate the P Cygni-like profiles observed for the resonance doublets of C IV and Si IV in the spectrum of the quasar PHL 5200 and of C IV in that of RS 23. Taking into account the structure of the resonance doublets and the nonlocal transfer of line photons in an outward-decelerating envelope, it is shown that good agreement between the theory and the observations is achieved for symmetrically spherical outward-flows decelerated in the gravitational field of the central quasars.
