Scientific paper

We propose to build the best SED data set spanning from radio to X-ray wavelengths for 35 quasars. We will use new and archival mid-to-far IR data from Spitzer as well as other existing multi-wavelength data. We have unique quasi-simultaneous FUV/UV-optical spectra for our sample, greatly reducing the uncertainty due to quasar intrinsic time variability in the UV bump. We will derive accurate bolometric luminosities for the sample and seek to establish a more reliable and accurate way to obtain the bolometric luminosity of quasars from their partial SEDs and/or spectral properties. We will also apply multivariate analysis to the SEDs, study the quasar multi-wavelength spectral properties and their dependence on the overall SEDs, and thus better understand the physical processes quasars employ emitting across the entire electromagnetic spectrum.
