Infrared SEDs of quasars and radio galaxies: Unification and dust evolution seen by ISO, SCUBA and MAMBO
Abstract
Sensitive Infrared Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) drawn from the ISO data archive and supplemented with SCUBA and MAMBO observations, provide evidence for the geometric unification of powerful 3CR radio galaxies as `edge-on' quasars. Furthermore, detailed SEDs of 64 Palomar-Green quasars show a diversity of shapes, consistent with the physical evolution of the heating sources and the dust distribution around them.
