More spectroscopy of the fuzz around QSOs - additional evidence for two types of QSO

Spectroscopic observations of the nebulosity around a sample of optically selected, UV excess QSOs are reported. The spectra of QSOs observed by Boroson, Oke, and Green (1982) are also presented. These sets of objects strengthen the case that there are fundamental properties that distinguish two groups of objects which are both called QSOs. These differences include the equivalent width of the nuclear forbidden O III 5007 A emission, the width and shape of the nuclear broad lines, the equivalent width of the nuclear Fe II emission, and the radio morphology or the spectral index. Measurements of these properties are presented and the correlations and statistical significances are discussed. These distinctions are discussed in terms of a model in which the accretion rate onto a black hole is varied. 25 references
