Polarized emission from a quasar is produced by wavelength-independent electron scattering surrounding its accretion disc, and thus avoid the contamination from its host galaxy and reveal the intrinsic emission spectrum of the accretion disc. Ultra-violet (UV) emission from a quasar is normally free from the contamination from its host galaxy. Pola...
