N(z) N(z) distrubution for ‘AQ’ and ‘non-AQ’ radio sources Geoscience Australia 07 September 2013
Conclusion • Balmer emission lines (BEL) are likely to be a good indicator of ‘compactness’ of the radio source in optic (stellar-like quasar without extended structures, etc). The radio sources with broad and strong BEL would be a good candidates VLBI-Gaia link objects. • ‘AQ’ objects from the Malkin’s database should be drafted. Geoscience Australia 07 September 2013
