A number of possible quasi-stellar objects have been found from a search of the Palomar Sky Survey plates for identification of radio sources in the Parkes catalogue (Bolton, Clarke, and Ekers 1965). Confirmation of the identification of two of these sources, 1327-21 and 2115-30, has now been obtained from both precise position measurements and photoelectric observations. As quasi-stellar objects generally are of very small radio diameter, the optical positions can be used as primary calibration points for southern radio telescopes.

Clarke, Bolton, and Shimmins (1966) have recently suggested identifications for 138 of the radio sources listed in the Parkes catalogue for declinations 0� to +20� (Day, Shimmins, Ekers, and Cole 1966). The identifications were made from inspection of the Palomar Sky Survey plates in areas 2' arc square centred on the catalogue positions. In general, identifications were suggested only for galaxies or possible quasi-stellar objects brighter than 17m . 5, in order to avoid the possibility of chance coincidences. Where objects fainter than 17m . 5 were suggested, position data of higher accuracy were available, due principally to unpublished measurements by Shimmins, Clarke, and Ekers with the 210 ft telescope.

Optical Identifications

Identifications are suggested for 59 radio sources from the resurvey of declination zone �4�, 27 with galaxies and 32 with stellar objects; 19 of the latter are confirmed as quasi-stellar objects (QSOs). The identifications were made from the Palomar Sky Survey prints plus supplementary plates taken with the Palomar and U.K. Schmidt telescopes and the Anglo-Australian 3�9 m telescope.

Identifications with extragalactic objects are suggested for 55 radio sources with declinations between _200 and _44�. The identifications are based on a search of the Palomar Sky Survey plates in the position of sources in the Parkes catalogue. Eight of the identifications are with suspected quasi-stellar objects and the remainder with galaxies. Finding charts are provided for the fainter obje~ts.

Estimated Error

Accurate positions have been obtained for 75 sources between declinations +20� and +27�. For most sources the estimated error is less than 15" arc in each coordinate. Identifications are suggested for 27 sources from inspection of the Palomar Sky survey prints near the new positions. Fourteen of the suggested identifications are galaxies and 13 are quasi. stellar objects.

Identifications or suggested identifications are given for 138 extragalactic radio sources in the declination zone 0� to +20�. The identifications are based on a search of the Palomar Sky Survey plates in the positions of sources in the Parkes catalogue. Forty-two of the identifications are with quasi. stellar objects or suggested quasi-stellar objects and the remainder with galaxies. The radio luminosity distribution and a possible variation in the identification percentage with galactic latitude are discussed.

The One

The role of the Schmidt telescopes in the discovery of the Quasi Stellar Objects and of the Active Galactic Nuclei, and in the understanding of their properties was and continues to be of the greatest importance. Thousands of Radio-Sources have been quickly associated to their optical counterparts thanks to the worldwide availability of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey plates and charts and more recently of the films of the ESO B Survey. Other thousands of QSOs and AGNs devoid of radio emission are found by the large Schmidts nowaday in operation. This wealth of data give fundamental cosmological knowledge and insight in the physical processes occuring in these objects. I'll concentrate in this Review on two specific topics, namely on the discovery techniques and on the study of the optical variability. To both subjects, the 67/92 cm Schmidt telescope here at Asiago has made significant contributions. The first topic is treated in several excellent papers, such as the one by M. Smith (1978) and the one by P. Veron (1983); the material presented in the second part is largely new. In the following, I'll use rather loosely the terms QSOs and AGNs to designate a variety of objects including Quasars (those QSOs in catalogs of Radio-Sources), high-redshift compact galaxies with emission lines, BL LACset similia.
