Abstract
We use the anticorrelation between the equivalent width (EW) of the
C\,iv 1549 \AA emission line and the continuum luminosity in the
quasars rest frame (Baldwin effect) to measure their luminosity distance as
well as estimate cosmological parameters. We obtain a sample of 291 Type I
quasars with the UV/optical spectra and EW (C\,iv) measurements in the
redshift range of $1.506 z 4.72$, which can be used to investigate the
C\,iv Baldwin effect and determine cosmological luminosity distance.
The relation $EW(C\,iv) (L_)^$ can
be applied to check the inverse correlation between the C\,iv EW and
$L_$ of quasars and give their distance. The data suggest that the EW
of C\,iv is inversely correlated with continuum monochromatic
luminosities. On the other hand, we also consider dividing the Type I quasars
sample into various redshift bins, which can be used to check if the
C\,iv EW-luminosity relation depends on the redshift. Finally, we
apply a combination of Type I quasars and SNIa Pantheon to test the property of
dark energy concerning whether or not its density deviates from the constant,
and give the statistical results.
