This thesis sets out to explain this observation by the presence of optical non-thermal synchrotron emission, connected with the relativistic jet that powers the radio emission in these quasars. ... We find that 40% of the sources have power-law SEDs, while a similar number show evidence for two primary components: a blue power law and optical synchrotron emission. ... The sources with power law SEDs show evidence for an excess number of red power law slopes compared to optically-selected quasars. ...
