abstract

We report the BeppoSAX observations of 6 Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars. Three of them have a clear detection up to 100 keV with the PDS instrument. For 4 objects the X-ray spectrum is satisfactorily fitted by a power-law continuum with Galactic absorption. 2251+158 show the presence of absorption higher than the galactic value, while the spectrum of the source 0208-512 shows a complex structure, with evidence of absorption at low energy. We construct the Spectral Energy Distributions adding historical data to the broad band X-ray spectra obtained with $Beppo$SAX and reproduce them with a one-zone Synchrotron-Inverse Compton model (including both SSC and External Compton). The implications are briefly discussed.
