Scattering from Dusty Outflows in Hot Dust-Obscured Galaxies with Blue Excess Emission
Astroboat summary
(Context) Hot Dust-Obscured Galaxies (Hot DOGs) are a population of hyper-luminous quasars heavily obscured by dust and gas. While most have rest UV/optical SEDs dominated by their host galaxy emission, a small fraction shows blue emission in excess of what is expected for star-formation.
