Weird quasars from the SDSS: what can they tell us?

by Pat Hall (postdoc)

Abstract

The SDSS has now obtained spectra of over 50,000 quasar candidates. Some 2/3 of these are real AGN, and not surprisingly, some of them have very unusual spectra. I'll be your host on a guided tour of previously unexplored regions of parameter space, where we'll learn how understanding odd quasars can help us understand normal quasars as well.
