Description
We have combined a sample of 44,984 quasars selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 3 (Cat. <II/259>) with the FIRST radio survey (Cat. <VIII/71>). Using a novel technique in which the optical quasar position is matched to the complete radio environment within 450", we are able to characterize the radio morphological make-up of what is essentially an optically selected quasar sample, regardless of whether the quasar (nucleus) itself has been detected in the radio.
