SCUBA observations of Hawaii 167.

LEWIS G.F. and CHAPMAN S.C.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present the first submillimetre observations of the z=2.36 broad absorption line system Hawaii 167. Our observations confirm the hypothesis that Hawaii 167 contains a massive quantity of dust, the optical depth of which is sufficient to extinguish completely our ultraviolet view of a central, buried quasar. The submillimetre luminosity and associated dust mass of Hawaii 167 are similar to those of the ultraluminous class of infrared galaxies, supporting the existence of an evolutionary link between these and the active galaxy population. Hawaii 167 appears to be a young quasar that is emerging from its dusty cocoon.
