Reevaluation of 610 FSRQ candidates shows most radio spectra are flat within per-source uncertainties but 60% of well-covered sources exhibit restarted-peaked morphologies, indicating the flat-spectrum label is insufficient and BZQ better captures the diversity.

The Phenomenological Nature of Quasar-type Blazars (BZQ). I. Revisiting the Flat-Spectrum Paradigm
Reevaluation of 610 FSRQ candidates shows most radio spectra are flat within per-source uncertainties but 60% of well-covered sources exhibit restarted-peaked morphologies, indicating the flat-spectrum label is insufficient and BZQ better captures the diversity.
