Double-lobed radio quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. de Vries W.H., Becker R.H., White R.L. <Astron. J., 131, 666-679 (2006)> =2006AJ....131..666D 2006AJ....131..666D

II/259) with the FIRST radio survey (Cat. VIII/71). Using a novel technique in which the optical quasar position is matched to the complete radio environment within 450", we are able to characterize the radio morphological make-up of what is essentially an optically selected quasar sample, regardless of whether the quasar (nucleus) itself has been detected in the radio.
