چکیده

We present Keck spectropolarimetry of a rare “Iron LoBALQSO,” FIRST 0840+3633. The continuum is ∼4% polarized near 2000Å rest-frame, but falls to ∼2% at longer wavelengths, and maintains a relatively constant position angle of 50. The emission lines are unpolarized. The polarization increases up to ∼8% in the low-ionization absorption troughs of Mg II λ2800 and Al III λ1860. The polarization and its position angle vary in a complicated manner across the metastable Fe II absorption lines, suggesting that more than one mechanism is at work or that the system geometry is complex.

A very weakly coupled scalar field with mass m and initial vacuum expectation value V will provide enough mass to close the universe provided V ≃ (3 × 10 8 GeV)(100 GeV/m) 1/4. We discuss possible models in which such a field could arise. (a) Electronic address (internet): [email protected].
