| Abstract: |
We have embarked upon a project to model the UV spectra of BALQSOs
using a Monte Carlo radiative transfer code previously validated
through modelling of the winds of cataclysmic variable stars
(e.g., Noebauer et al. 2010). We intend to use the simulations
to investigate the plausibility of geometric unification (e.g., Elvis 2000)
of the different classes of
QSO. Here we introduce the code, and present some initial
results. These demonstrate that for reasonable geometries and mass
loss rates we are able to produce synthetic spectra which reproduce
the important features of observed BALQSO spectra. |
