Flat-spectrum radio quasars from the SDSS DR3 quasar catalogue [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2009
We constructed a sample of 185 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) by cross-correlating Shen et al.'s Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 3 (SDSS DR3) X-ray quasar sample with the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty Centimeters (FIRST) and Green ...

The Gamma-Ray Luminosity Function of Flat-spectrum Radio Quasars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We have utilized the largest sample of gamma-ray-selected Fermi flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) ever used (519 sources) to construct the luminosity function and its evolution through cosmic history. In addition to spanning large redshift (0

M-BH-Sigma relation in Sloan Digital Sky Survey flat-spectrum radio quasars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The relationship between the black hole mass and velocity dispersion indicated with [O iii] linewidth is investigated for a sample of 87 flat-spectrum radio quasars selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 3 quasar catalogue. We found that

The Detection of Teraelectronvolt Radiation from a Flat-spectrum Radio Quasar

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The very high-energy (VHE; >100 GeV) radiation carries the signatures of the matter–energy interaction in some of the most extreme astrophysical environments.

Blue Fermi Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2012
Many blazars detected by the Fermi satellite, observed spectroscopically in the optical, are line-less, and have been classified as BL Lac objects. Optical-UV photometry of nearly one hundred of them allowed to determine the redshift for a handful of objects and redshift upper limits for the great majority.

Magnetic field amplification and flat spectrum radio quasars [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2014
We perform time-dependent, spatially-resolved simulations of blazar emission to evaluate several flaring scenarios related to magnetic-field amplification and enhanced particle acceleration. The code explicitly accounts for light-travel-time effects and is applied to flares observed in the flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) PKS 0208-512, which show ...

Multiwavelength observations of flat radio spectrum quasars and active galaxies

open access: yes, 1993
Recent results from the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) show that all of the gamma-ray detected quasars and active galaxies (AGN) are radio-loud. These discoveries, and previous statistical studies with results from the Einstein Observatory suggest ...

The Physical Properties of Fermi-4LAC Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2020
Abstract In this work, we collect quasi-simultaneous infrared, optical, X-ray and γ-ray data of 60 Fermi fourth LAT AGN catalog (4LAC) flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs). In the framework of the conventional one-zone leptonic model, we investigate the physical properties of Fermi-4LAC FSRQs’ jets by modeling their quasi-simultaneous ...

Synchrotron X-ray Emission from Flat-spectrum Radio Quasars

open access: yes, 2003
We present new BeppoSAX observations of four flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQ) with spectral energy distributions similar to those of high-energy peaked BL Lacs. In one of our sources the BeppoSAX band is dominated by synchrotron emission peaking at ∼ 2
