Is the Broad Absorption Line (BAL) Quasar phenomenon an effect of evolution or orientation? The answer has significant implications for understanding the connection between the growth of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies; BAL outflows are likely to be an important mechanism for regulating black hole accretion. To address this issue, this program will measure the far infrared spectral energy distributions of a complete sample of BAL quasars drawn from the Large Bright Quasar Survey. These data, in conjunction with information from other wavelength regimes, are crucial for accurately constraining the star formation rates, bolometric luminosities, and accretion rates in BAL quasars. Comparing these fundamental physical properties to those of non-BAL quasars will enable a full investigation into the evolution versus orientation explanation for the BAL wind.
