Abstract:
We analysed the optical and radio properties of lobe-dominated
giant-sized (>0.72Mpc) radio quasars and compared the results with
those derived for a sample of smaller radio sources to determine
whether the large size of some extragalactic radio sources is related
to the properties of their nuclei. We compiled the largest (to date)
sample of giant radio quasars, including 24 new and 21 previously
known objects, and calculated a number of important parameters of
their nuclei such as the black hole mass and the accretion rate.
Description:
In our analysis we use 45 GRQs, of which 21 are taken from the
existing literature (for details see Table 1). The remaining 24,
which were not previously identified as GRQs, we selected from
catalogues of radio quasars compiled by Gregg et al. (1996, Cat.
J/AJ/112/407), Becker et al. (2001, Cat. J/ApJS/135/227), White
et al. (2000, Cat. J/ApJS/126/133) and de Vries, Becker & White
(2006, Cat. J/AJ/131/666). The presented sample of giant-sized
radio quasars is the largest to date. It contains sources even
at large redshifts (z∼2).
