Scientific paper

The paper reports the results of the first high-sensitivity (detection limit less than 1 mJy) VLA survey for radio emission from a unique class of optically selected quasars: the broad absorption-line quasars (BAL QSOs). Of the 30 known members of this class, six have been definitely detected with the VLA at 6 cm; however there is a notable deficiency of strong radio sources in this survey. It is concluded on the basis of two statistical tests (the binomial distribution and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test) that the BAL QSOs form a unique class of optically selected quasars in terms of their radio emission properties. Arguments are then presented supporting the working hypothesis that the BAL QSOs are embedded in spiral galaxies.
