The Infrared Emission of Quasars
Abstract
A model of two compact components (one contributes at radio and submillimeter wavelength and the other is very small and emits at the infrared region) is proposed to interpret the spectrum of quasi-stellar objects at radio and infrared wavelengths. The physical parameters are estimated from the observed data of 3C 273 for our model and for the model which is derived by assuming the infrared emission as an extrapolation of the synchrotron radio-source. It was proved that our model can explain the observational spectra, while the other model has some difficulties to interpret them completely.
