Scientific paper

We have detected polar broad absorption-line quasars from their radio-core variabilities. Recent X-ray observations of two polar LoBALQSOs suggest that they may have different X-ray properties from other BALQSOs: their X-ray absorbing columns are much smaller compared to that of non-polar LoBALQSOs with Compton-thick absorbing columns and the polar LoBALQSOs may have different type of outflow. Here we propose snapshot survey (6~ks exposure each) of 10 polar BALQSOs to determine if this is the case. Determining if polar BALQSOs are qualitatively different from the rest of the BALQSO population would be a very significant result.
