Abstract We have positionally matched our database of over 19, 000 star-forming galaxies (SFGs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) against the SDSS QSO catalog. This has allowed us to discover nineteen bright QSOs with redshifts of less than or about one behind local SFGs. Two of the QSOs were fortuitously already observed with HST, and show strong Lyman alpha lines at the emission-line redshifts of the SFGs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10282( 1) - 04/02/04 10:44 - [ 2] Summary Form for Proposal 10282 Item Used in this proposal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Proposal Category AR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
