Evidence that FeLoBALs May Signify the Transition between an Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxy and a Quasar
Evidence that FeLoBALs May Signify the Transition between an Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxy and a Quasar
We present mid/far-infrared photometry of nine FeLoBAL QSOs, taken using the Spitzer Space Telescope. All nine objects are extremely bright in the infrared, with rest-frame 1-1000 μm luminosities comparable to those of ultraluminous infrared galaxies. Furthermore, a significant fraction of the infrared emission from many, and possibly all, of the …
