DOWNLOAD EBOOKWe present measurements of B meson decays to the final states [omega]K*, [omega][rho], and [omega]f0, where K* indicates a spin 0, 1, or 2 strange meson. The data sample corresponds to 465 x 106 B{bar B} pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II ee− collider at SLAC. B meson decays involving vector-scalar, vector-vector, and vector-tensor final states are analyzed; the latter two shed new light on the polarization of these final states. We measure the branching fractions for nine of these decays; five are observed for the first time. For most decays we also measure the charge asymmetry and, where relevant, the longitudinal polarization f{sub L}.
