The spectral energy distributions of radio-loud AGN

With this proposal we will construct a comprehensive library of Xray to midIRradioloud quasar spectral energy distributions for a single epoch (z1), usinga sample that is precisely matched to a companion sample of radio quiet quasars.In doing so, we will decouple luminosity effects from evolutionary effects andso determine the amount of radiation that is absorbed and reprocessed by thetorus, and how this depends on luminosity. The SED library will represent afundamental resource for future investigations of the accretion history ofmassive black holes, and will allow us to reconcile conflicting results on AGNobscuration at different wavelengths and to answer key questions about theradioloud/radioquiet dichotomy. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
