When galaxies collide: understanding the broad absorption-line radio galaxy 4C +72.26

We present a range of new observations of the "broad absorption line radio galaxy" 4C +72.26 (z = 3.5), including sensitive rest-frame ultraviolet integral field spectroscopy using the Gemini/GMOS-N instrument and Subaru/CISCO K-band imaging and spectroscopy. We show that 4C +72.26 is a sy...
