The Structure of the BAL QSO 1700+518
Abstract
We present 0.5 arcsec resolution optical images of the low redshift bright broad absorption line (BAL) QSO 1700+518. We find a bright arc 2 arcsec to the NE of the nucleus which is redder than the surrounding host galaxy. There is also a faint radial structure to the SE, which is aligned with the core radio structure. The principal radio structure is slightly resolved component coincident with the optical nucleus and an unresolved lobe 1 arcsec to the W which has no corresponding optical structure. We discuss the morphological and other properties of the QSO. (SECTION: Galaxies)
