- Summary
- "Ultraviolet optical infrared spectrophotometry of the highly-polarized quasars (HPQ's) PKS 0736017 and PKS 1510-089 is analyzed. A blazar continuum component like that in BL Lac objects (e.g. with violent variability, high polarization, and a steep power-law shape) contributes about half the visual light of 1510-089, and at least three-quarters of that in 0736017. The remaining light has the same spectrum as normal (low-polarization) quasars, including an ultraviolet excess or blue bump, which is easily detected in the IUE spectra of 1510-089, and weakly detected in 0736017. The line fluxes do vary, but not as much as the continuum. The ratios of the broad emission lines, and the Balmer continuum are normal in both quasars."--NTIS abstract.
