Here, we analyse the SDSS spectra of these samples and compare the rest-frame ultraviolet properties of radio-loud BAL and non-BAL quasars. Ultraviolet properties include the continuum shape, emission-line measurements of CIV, AlIII, CIII], FeII and MgII, and BAL properties including the balnicity index, absorption index and minimum and maximum outflow velocities. We find that radio-loud BAL quasars have similar ultraviolet properties compared to radio-loud non-BAL sources, though they do appear to have redder continua and stronger FeII emission, which is consistent with what is found for radio-quiet BAL sources. No correlations exist between outflow properties and orientation (radio spectral index), suggesting that BAL winds along any line of sight are driven by the same mechanisms. There are also few correlations between spectral index and other properties. We conclude that BAL outflows occur along all lines of sight with similar strengths and velocities.</description><source format="bibcode">2012MNRAS.427.1135D</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/427/1135</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource>Conesearch service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>related-to</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/427/107">J/A+A/427/107 : Polarization in BAL QSOs (Lamy+, 2004)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/165/1">J/ApJS/165/1 : BAL QSOs from SDSS DR3 (Trump+, 2006)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/665/990">J/ApJ/665/990 : SDSS DR2 BAL QSOs (Ganguly+, 2007)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/692/758">J/ApJ/692/758 : BAL QSOs in SDSS-DR5 (Gibson+, 2009)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/410/860">J/MNRAS/410/860 : Redshift dependence of BAL QSOs (Allen+, 2011)</relatedResource></relationship></content><rights>https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.html</rights><capability><interface xsi:type="vr:WebBrowser"><accessURL use="full">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/427/1135</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/427/1135</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/427/1135</mirrorURL></interface></capability><capability><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP"><accessURL use="base">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/427/1135</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/427/1135</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/427/1135</mirrorURL><queryType>GET</queryType><resultType>text/xml+votable</resultType></interface></capability><capability standardID="ivo://ivoa.net/std/TAP#aux"><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP" role="std"><accessURL use="base">https://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tap</accessURL></interface></capability><capability xsi:type="cs:ConeSearch" standardID="ivo://ivoa.net/std/ConeSearch"><description>Cone search capability for table J/MNRAS/427/1135/BALs (Properties and line measurements of the sample of radio-loud BAL quasars)</description><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP" role="std"><accessURL use="base">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/427/1135/BALs?</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/427/1135/BALs?</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/427/1135/BALs?</mirrorURL><queryType>GET</queryType><resultType>text/xml+votable</resultType></interface><maxSR>180.0</maxSR><maxRecords>50000</maxRecords><verbosity>true</verbosity><testQuery><ra>3.53425</ra><dec>-8.8783889</dec><sr>0.005555555555555556</sr></testQuery></capability><coverage><spatial>6/4103 4164 4228 4234 4362 4787 4959 4976 5008 5047 5055 5072 5087 5103 5109 5236 5302 5332 5336 5342-5343 5364 5429 5441 5452 5477 5485-5486 5638 5648 5651 5666 5704 5706 5732 5764 5766 5771 5942 6098 6227 6230 6236 6248 6357 6403 6421 6464 6470-6471 6487 6642 6644 7256 7316 7568 9164-9165 9172 9365 9381 9385 9452 9464 9466 9515 9613-9614 9729 9778 9788 9826 9859 9877 9890 9896 9929 10027 10318 10351 10356 10429 10433 10481 10486 10509 10535 10538 10551 10592 10634 10642 10688 10736 10802 10808 10814 10827 10829 10902 10912 10968 11249 11264-11265 11389 11398 11408 11436 17215 17261 17522 17758 18068 18086 18090 18097 18112 25844 25947 26212 26222 26239 26258 26285 26558 27021 27048 27420 27487 27501 27576 27595 27650 27699 27728 28204 28538 28587 28640 28671 31396 32486</spatial><footprint ivo-id="ivo://ivoa.net/std/moc">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/MNRAS/427/1135?format=ascii</footprint><waveband>UV</waveband></coverage><tableset><schema><name>default</name><table><name>J/MNRAS/427/1135/BALs</name><description>Properties and line measurements of the sample of radio-loud BAL quasars</description><column><name>z</name><description>Redshift</description><ucd>src.redshift</ucd><dataType xsi:type="vs:VOTableType">float</dataType></column><column><name>recno</name><description>Record number assigned by the VizieR team.
