[4.18] The Broad Line Region of Radio-loud Quasars: New Hubble Space Telescope \& Ground-based Spectroscopy

M. Han, Beverley J. Wills, M.S. Brotherton, D. Wills (U.Texas), J.A. Baldwin (CTIO), H. Netzer (Tel-Aviv), G.J. Ferland (U.Kentucky), I.W.A. Browne (U.Manchester)

We present new observations of the spectra of radio-loud quasars obtained with HST and ground-based instruments. The observed-frame spectral range covered extends from the UV ($\sim$1500\AA) through the optical ($\sim$9000\AA), and, for some objects, into the J, H, and K bands. This coverage enables us to study the continuum and a large number of emission lines of different excitation. We report some results of our investigations into the relationships between radio-properties, line profiles, line ratios, and continuum shapes.
