One thing I wanted to try on my sabbatical was writing a very short paper over a weekend. Didn't quite make it (and it was even a long weekend!), but I mostly ruled out "polar" BAL quasars; remaining tasks are:
DONE: 1) Check my math, both formulas and numbers.
DONE: 2) Dig up the FIRST and NVSS peak flux densities AND THEIR UNCERTAINTIES for both epochs for all the objects in Table 1.
DONE: 3) Take the formulas for rmax (Eqs 4 & 5) and beta_perp^min (Eq 9), come up with formulas for their uncertainties.
DONE: 4) Compute uncertainties on rmax, T_b,q and beta_perp^min using the errors on fluxes found above.
DONE: 5) Discuss more references, write conclusions.
I'll let it sit a week for Laura and I to look it over again, then submit!
