The Redshifted Excess in Quasar C IV Broad Emission Lines
  In this Letter, the Evans and Koratkar Atlas of Hubble Space Telescope Faint
Object Spectrograph Spectra of Active Galactic Nuclei and Quasars is used to
study the redward asymmetry in CIV broad emission lines (BELs). It is concluded
that there is a highly significant correlation between the spectral index from
10 GHz to 1350 $\AA$ and the amount of excess luminosity in the red wing of the
CIV BEL ($>99.9999%$ significance level for the full sample and the radio loud
subsample independently, but no correlation is found for the radio quiet
subsample). This is interpreted as a correlation between radio core dominance
and the strength of the CIV redward asymmetry. The data implies that within the
quasar environment there is BEL gas with moderately blueshifted emission
associated with the purely radio quiet quasar phenomenon (the accretion disk)
and the radio jet emission mechanism is associated with a redward BEL component
that is most prominent for lines of sight along the jet axis. Thus, radio quiet
quasars have CIV BELs that tend to show blueshifted excess and radio loud
quasars show either a red or blue excess with the tendency for a dominant red
excess increasing as the line of sight approaches the jet axis.
