Abstract: |
Using a new set of observations of Parkes Quasars, I have fitted new models of synchrotron emission to broadband spectra in the optical and near-infrared. I present these results, showing that a majority of the sources in the sample show strong evidence for a red optical/infrared synchrotron component over the top of the underlying quasar continuum, which would produce a reddened spectrum. I will also present measurements of emission line equivalent widths that support the synchrotron hypothesis. In addition, some sources show evidence for reddening by a dust component as well as the synchrotron component, and can be better fitted by a three component model. |
