Scientific paper

We have recently discovered a new class of flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQ) with synchrotron peak frequencies, nu_peak}, in the UV/X-ray band, set apart from ``classical'' FSRQ, which typically have nu_peak in the optical/IR band. We propose to observe the eight FSRQ in the Deep X-ray Radio Blazar Survey with estimated nu_peak greater than 10**15 Hz to study their X-ray properties and pin down the emission process. The confirmation (or not) of the nature of FSRQ with high-energy synchrotron peaks and the subsequent detailed study of their properties have important implications for our understanding of jet formation and synchrotron cooling and their relationship to accretion disk properties and accretion rates in all radio-loud AGN.
