Scientific paper

We report multiwavelength observations of the quasar PG1407+265. The quasar has normal continuum properties, including a strong ultraviolet bump, but unusually weak emission lines, except for Hα which has a normal equivalent width. Archival Hubble Space Telescope data show weak CIV, but the Lyman alpha equivalent width is less than 4 Angstroms. We discuss possible geometries to explain the abnormal line properties in the context of unified models and compare the object to BAL quasars.
