Scientific paper

We are performing a project to constrain the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) from the hard-X-ray through the submm of a complete sample of 37 Broad Absorption Line Quasars (BALQs). These data will test whether the BAL phenomenon results from an accident of orientation or occurs as a consequence of evolution by constraining star formation in the host galaxy. Evidence for enhanced star formation relative to typical quasars would directly support the evolutionary scenario whereby starbursts and quasars are triggered by galaxy interactions. Sensitive, hard-band Chandra data will probe the level of accretion power in the SED, as required for evaluating the relative quasar/starburst contributions. We request 81 ks of exploratory ACIS observations of 13 BALQs to complete the sample.
