چکیده
We discuss the compact radio sources associated with quasars and AGN with particular emphasis on the implications of their structure and kinematics for relativistic beaming models.

AGN Zoo and Classications of Active Galaxies
We review the variety of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) classes (so-calledAGN zoo") and classification schemes of galaxies by activity types based on their optical emission-line spectrum, as well as other parameters and other than optical wave-length ranges. A historical overview of discoveries of various types of active galaxies is given, including Seyfert galaxies, radio galaxies, QSOs, BL Lace...
متن کاملA link between radio loudness and X-ray/optical properties of AGN
We have found empirically that the radio loudness of AGN can be understood as function of both the X-ray and optical luminosity. This way of considering the radio loudness was inspired by the hardness-intensity diagrams for X-ray binaries, in which objects follow a definite track with changes to their radio properties occurring in certain regions. We generalize the hardness-intensity diagram to...
متن کاملThe WISE properties of complete samples of radio-loud AGN
We present an analysis of four complete samples of radio-loud AGN (3CRR, 2Jy, 6CE and 7CE) using nearand mid-IR data taken by the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The combined sample consists of 79 quasars and 273 radio galaxies, and covers a redshift range 0.003 < z < 3.395. The dichotomy in the mid-IR properties of lowand highexcitation radio galaxies (LERGs HERGs) is analysed for ...
متن کاملThe production mechanism of radio jets in AGN and quasar grand unification
Recent advances in estimating black hole masses for AGN show that radio luminosity is dependent on black hole mass and accretion rate. In this paper we outline a possible scheme for unifying radio-quiet and radio-loud AGN. We take the “optimistic” view that the mass and spin of the central black hole, the accretion rate onto it, plus orientation and a weak environmental dependence, fully determ...
متن کاملUnified Schemes for Radio-Loud Active Galactic Nuclei
The appearance of active galactic nuclei (AGN) depends so strongly on orientation that our current classification schemes are dominated by random pointing directions instead of more interesting physical properties. Light from the centers of many AGN is obscured by optically thick circumnuclear matter, particularly at optical and ultraviolet wavelengths. In radio-loud AGN, bipolar jets emanating...
