radio
loud
emission line
type I
broad line
type II
lacks visible broad lines
Narrow Line Radio Galaxy
Blazar
jet => observer
synchrotron emission
emission line (ill-def.)
Optically Violently Variable Quasars
High Polarization Quasar
BL Lac
Quasar
point-like
only a few
Radio galaxy
two lobes
Jets
usually E galaxy
quiet
Seyfert galaxy
type II
only narrow line
True Seyfert 2s
intrinsically lack BLR
type I
only board line
quasar-like nuclei
Detectable galaxy
usually spiral galaxy
radio-quiet quasars
quasi-stellar objects
central engine model
thermal
hidden quasars
opaque + thin accretion
angle
Radio loud + Big Blue Bump
mainly radio bright
non-thermal
weakly accreting
synchronized jets
mainly radio less bright
