Absorption and scattering properties in polarized bright soft X-ray selected ROSAT AGN
D. Grupe, Beverley J. Wills, D. Wills +1
We have surveyed the optical linear polarimetric properties of 65 soft X-ray selected ROSAT Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). Most of these sources show low polarization (<1%) and no o…

The PG X-Ray QSO Sample: Links among X-ray, UV & Optical Spectra
Beverley J. Wills, M. S. Brotherton, A. Laor +3
A unique, essentially complete sample of 22 QSOs, with high quality soft X-ray spectra from ROSAT, as well as HST and optical spectrophotometry from below Ly-alpha to above H-alpha…

Clues to Outflows: Polarization of IRAS-Selected QSOs
Beverley J. Wills, Dean C. Hines
Broad-band polarimetry and spectropolarimetry of a complete sample of 18 luminous AGNs (Lbol > 10^11.5 Lsun), selected in an orientation-independent way by warm infrared flux, show…
