FeLoBAL quasars: evolution, orientation or just oddBALs?
Abstract
FeLoBAL quasars may be an early evolutionary stage of merger-triggered quasar activity. We test this hypothesis using HST imaging of four FeLoBAL quasars. The host galaxy colors are consistent with early-type quiescent galaxies or heavily-obscured starbursts.
