ROSAT X-ray observations of 3CRR radio sources
Over half the 3CRR sample of radio galaxies and quasars has been observed in X-rays with ROSAT pointed observations, and we present results from these observations, discussing many of the sources in detail. The improved spatial resolution of ROSAT over earlier missions allows a better separation of the nuclear and extended components of the X-ray emission. We investigate the relationship betwee...
متن کاملA Composite HST Spectrum of Quasars
We construct a composite quasar spectrum from 284 HST FOS spectra of 101 quasars with redshifts z > 0.33. The spectrum covers the wavelengths between 350 Å and 3000 Å in the rest frame, with a peak S/N level of ∼ 130 per Å at ∼ 1200 Å. Since ∼ 90% of the sample quasars have redshift z < 1.5, the spectrum is suitable for studying the wavelength region shortward of Lyα without large effects from ...
متن کاملX–ray Emission from the First Quasars
It is currently unknown whether the Universe was reionized by quasars or stars at z ∼ > 5. We point out that quasars can be best distinguished from stellar systems by their X-ray emission. Based on a simple hierarchical CDM model, we predict the number counts and X-ray fluxes of quasars at high redshifts. The model is consistent with available data on the luminosity function of high-redshift qu...
متن کاملAre the X-ray spectra of flat-spectrum radio quasars and BL Lacertae objects different?
We study the X-ray spectra of 114 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQ) using the hardness ratios as given in the WGA catalogue of ROSAT sources. This sample includes all WGA FSRQ with high-quality data and comprises about 20 per cent of presently known such objects, which makes this the largest FSRQ sample ever studied in the X-ray band. We find that FSRQ have a distribution of energy spectral in...
