چکیده

Abstract We analyze the angular power spectrum (APS) of unresolved gamma-ray background (UGRB) emission and combine it with measured properties resolved sources Fermi-LAT 4FGL catalog. Our goals are to dissect composition sky establish relevance different classes source populations active galactic nuclei in determining observed size UGRB anisotropy, especially at low energies. find that, under physical assumptions for spectral energy distribution, i.e., by using catalog data as a prior, two required fit APS data, namely flat-spectrum radio quasars energies BL Lacs higher The inferred luminosity functions agree well extrapolation quasar Lac ones obtained from 4FLG use these calculate intensity blazars, finding contribution 20% 1 GeV 30% above 10 GeV. Finally, bounds on an additional due annihilating dark matter also derived.

Are the X-ray spectra of flat-spectrum radio quasars and BL Lacertae objects different?

We study the X-ray spectra of 114 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQ) using the hardness ratios as given in the WGA catalogue of ROSAT sources. This sample includes all WGA FSRQ with high-quality data and comprises about 20 per cent of presently known such objects, which makes this the largest FSRQ sample ever studied in the X-ray band. We find that FSRQ have a distribution of energy spectral in...

Intra-night Optical Variability of BL Lacs, Radio-Quiet Quasars and Radio-Loud Quasars

We report monitoring observations of 20 high-luminosity AGN, 12 of which are radioquiet quasars (RQQs). Intra-night optical variability (INOV) was detected for 13 of the 20 objects, including 5 RQQs. The variations are distinctly stronger and more frequent for blazars than for the other AGN classes. By combining these data with results obtained earlier in our program, we have formed an enlarged...

Radio Observations of Nearby HST BL Lacs

We present a radio/optical study of a sample of BL Lac objects at arcsecond and milliarcsecond resolution. The sample consists of 30 nearby (z < 0.2) BL Lacs, mostly X-ray selected. These nearby objects are weak in the radio, yet we have successfully observed them with the VLA, VLBA and EVN, revealing interesting morphologies. Most importantly, we find evidence of relativistic boosting even in ...

The Luminosity Function of Fermi-detected Flat-spectrum Radio Quasars

Fermi has provided the largest sample of γ -ray-selected blazars to date. In this work we use a complete sample of flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) detected during the first year of operation to determine the luminosity function (LF) and its evolution with cosmic time. The number density of FSRQs grows dramatically up to redshift ∼0.5–2.0 and declines thereafter. The redshift of the peak in ...
