Title: Integrating X-ray and Infrared Views of BAL Quasars 
Authors: Sarah Gallagher 
Topic: 4
Session: oral 

Abstract: Quasars are notable for the luminous power they emit across decades in 
frequency from the far-infrared through hard X-rays; light generated 
on physical scales ranging from AUs to tens of parsecs contributes at 
different energies. Each wavelength regime thus offers a different 
line of sight into the central engine and a separate probe of 
outflowing material. A complete accounting of the physical 
characteristics and kinetic power of quasar winds thus requires a 
panchromatic approach.  X-ray and infrared studies are particularly 
powerful for covering the range of interesting physical scales and 
ionization states of the outflow. I will present and synthesize the 
results from an ongoing multiwavelength research program designed to 
constrain the nature of mass ejection from BAL quasars.
