Abstract

We propose to carry out a 3D spectroscopic study of Young QSOs candidates with BAL system, using Gemini GMOS Integral Field Unit. These QSOs have been carefully selected from our database of IR QSOs/mergers with BALs, starburst+AGN, and extreme outflow, which fits to our "evolving Young IR QSO" concept. This project will allow us to study in detail several important issues in extragalactic astronomy: (a) the nature of some BAL systems associated with weak small scale jets + accretion disks, (b) the role of extreme explosive outflows (and "some" BALs) in the evolution of IR QSOs, (c) the relation among IR QSOs, IR mergers, BALs, starburst+AGN, and extreme outflows, and (d) the host galaxy of Young QSOs candidates.
