Is there a connection between Broad Absorption Line Quasars and Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies?

Dirk Grupe, John A. Nousek

We consider whether Broad Absorption Line Quasars (BAL QSOs) and Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) are similar, as suggested by Brandt & Gallagher (2000) and Boroson (2002). F…
