On the origin of radio core emission in radio-quiet quasars

We present a model for the radio emission from radio-quiet quasar nuclei. We show that a thermal origin for the high brightness temperature, flat spectrum point sources (known as radio "cores") is possible provided that the emitting region is hot and optically thin. We hence demonstrate th...
