Observations of radio-quiet quasars: SDSSJ1353+1138
The radio emission from radio-quiet quasars may be due to processes associated with star formation, or mini-AGN, and it is important to determine which. Gravitationally lensed RQQs are important because they can be studied, using the lensing magnification, in a way otherwise impossible till long-baseline SKA. Objects of microJy-level intrinsic flux have been shown using EVN to have small-scale cores and jets indicative of mini-AGN, but others do not show mas-scale structure and instead show coincident radio and submm/far-IR disk emission, indicating processes in star-forming disks. The samples are very small; here, we propose further observations of a small number of objects filtered using VLA observations to have suitable radio flux densities of factors up to 10 fainter than the FIRST limit, and thus "true" RQQs.
