SDSS (1) ugriz, 3800-9200A, 3”, resolution 1800-2100 (York et al. 2000) (2)DR3: 1360 sq. deg. (Abazajian et al. 2003) multidimensional SDSS color space. (Richards et al. 2002) (3) 46,420 quasars in SDSS DR3 (Schneider et al. ‘03) Mi < -22 (70, 0.3, 0.7, -0.5) (4) ROSAT, FIRST, NVSS, 2MASS
2. RL and RQ Sample FIRST: 20 cm, peak flux density, α=-0.5 Radio loudness: f_5GHz/f_B, rest frame, k correction, R=10 z < 0.83: Hβ, [OIII], N=9573 914 detected by FIRST(598 RL+ 316 RQ), 7846 under flux limit (5721 RQ), 993 not covered by FIRST SDSS spectral fitting => MBH
Methods: Galactic extinction: optical. IR Fe II: optical, UV continuum: power law Balmer continuum Two sets of two-Gaussians: [O III] 4959, 5997 Three-Gaussians for Hβ 4861: NLR contribution
EW ([O III]) > 1.5A, σEW/EW<100% (luminosity bias) RQ Total sample: 3466 RL sample: 306 with R, L_radio RQ sample: 181 with R, L_radio

Luminosity bias: Monte Carlo trials Mgal(i) MBH(i,j) L(i,j,k) Galaxy mass function QSOs luminosity function (Boyle et al., 2000) (1)For samples, for different redshift bins, mean luminosity; (2)Form QSOs luminosity function, choose L_cut, to make the mean luminosity of the kept QSOs (L > L_cut ) equal to the observed mean luminosity in different redshift bin.

Some comments Radio luminosity: total/nuclear, FSQ,SSQ, FRI, FRII, BLRG, lobe-dominated QSOs High z radio-quiet QSOs, radio-loud QSOs Morphology difference: spiral RL, ellip RQ? radio loud AGNs with larger SMBH, small SMBH? NLS1s? Intermediate black hole? Optical-select, radio-slect, X-select samples ?? complete sample! Origins of L_radio, L_x, L_opt , jet, corona, ADAF, AD, AGN or starburst? FRI: Torus? infrared Bimodality of radio loudness: sample, z, M_BH, metal
