Relativistic Beaming and Quasar Statistics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
The predictions of a scheme which attributes the observed differences between flat and steep spectrum quasars to projection and the effects of relativistic beaming are explored. We conclude that the statistical properties of quasars are entirely consistent with such a scheme provided the mean Lorentz factor in the central components of quasars is ∼5.
