CDROM/APJS/V95/P001 Atlas of Quasar Energy Distributions (Elvis+ 1994) ================================================================================ Atlas of Quasar Energy Distributions Martin Elvis, Belinda J. Wilkes, Jonathan C. McDowell, Richard F. Green, Jill Bechtold, S. P. Willner, M. S. Oey, Elisha Polomski, & Roc Cutri <1994, ApJS, 95, 1> =1994ApJS...95....1B ================================================================================ Abstract: We present an atlas of the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of normal, nonblazar, quasars over the whole available range (radio to 10 keV X-rays) of the electromagnetic spectrum. The primary (UVSX) sample includes 47 quasars for which the spectral energy distributions include X-ray spectral indices and UV data. Of these, 29 are radio quiet, and 18 are radio loud. The SEDs are presented both in figures and in tabular form, with additional tabular material published on CD-ROM. Previously unpublished observational data for a second set of quasars excluded from the primary sample are also tabulated. The effects of host galaxy starlight contamination and foreground extinction on the UVSX sample are considered and the sample is used to investigate the range of SED properties. Of course, the properties we derive are influenced strongly by the selection effects induced by quasar discovery techniques. We derive the mean energy distribution (MED) for radio-loud and radio-quiet objects and present the bolometric corrections derived from it. We note, however, that the dispersion about this mean is large (~one decade for both the infrared and ultraviolet components when the MED is normalized at the near-infrared inflection). At least part of the dispersion in the ultraviolet may be due to time variability, but this is unlikely to be important in the infrared. The existence of such a large dispersion indicates that the MED reflects only some of the properties of quasars and so should be used only with caution. Keywords: atlases -- galaxies: photometry -- quasars: general Description: The author has supplied an extensive data set including tables in plain ASCII, LaTeX, and FITS format, as well as 38 figures in Postscript format. In the table below, each file is identified, along with the specific directory in which it can be found. For more detailed descriptions of the data, the reader is referred to the printed paper and the submitted manuscript, which is provided in the file "tex/text/paper.tex". The only changes to the data as submitted by the author are filename changes to conform with the ISO 9660 CD-ROM standard. The file names for the Postscript figures remain as the author supplied them. Figure numbering was changed during the editorial process, but each Postscript figure is marked with the figure number as originally given by the author. See the "explanations" field for the correspondence between the author-supplied figure file names and the printed figure numbers.
