| Abstract: |
We discuss results from a large completed project which takes advantage of the characteristics of compact, high-power radio-loud QSOs identified by Ken Kellermann early in his career. We set out to (i) search for high-redshift radio-loud QSOs and (ii) study the evolution of the flat-spectrum QSO pop-
ulation. Following a 6 yr campaign we have obtained accurate radio positions and optical data for a large sample of Parkes flat-spectrum radio sources. The resultant sample enables us to trace the space density turnover of flat-spectrum
QSOs. We conclude that there is a space density turnover in the QSO population and that optically-selected QSO samples are little affected by dust obscuration. |
