Scientific paper

The authors present the results of broad band polarimetry, spectropolarimetry, and spectrophotometry of the narrow-line, IR-Ultraluminous galaxy IRAS 09104+4109. They conclude that this cD galaxy hides a luminous quasar that powers the infrared emission - a hole in the dust allows the quasar light to escape, ionizing the extended narrow line region. Some of the emerging quasar light is seen as highly-polarized (scattered) ultraviolet continuum and a broad Mg II emission line.
