γ-ray luminosity function of γ-ray bright AGNs
Detection of γ-ray emission from a class of active galactic nuclei (viz blazars), has been one of the important findings from the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO). However, their γ-ray luminosity function has not been well determined. Few attempts have been made in earlier works, where BL Lacs and Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs) have been considered as a single source class. In this pap...
متن کاملEGRET Gamma-Ray Blazars: Luminosity Function and Contribution to the Extragalactic Gamma-Ray Background
We describe the properties of the blazars detected by EGRET and summarize the results on the calculations of the evolution and luminosity function of these sources. Of the large number of possible origins of extragalactic diffuse γ-ray emission, it has been postulated that active galaxies might be one of the most likely candidates. However, some of our recent analysis indicate that only 25% of ...
متن کاملEnergetics and Luminosity Function of Gamma-ray Bursts
Gamma-ray bursts are believed to be some catastrophic event in which material is ejected at a relativistic velocity, and internal collisions within this ejecta produce the observed γ-ray flash. The angular size of a causally connected region within a relativistic flow is of the order the angular width of the relativistic beaming, γ. Thus, different observers along different lines of sights coul...
متن کاملLuminosity Functions of Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows
Aims. Use the standard fireball model to create virtual populations of gamma-ray burst afterglows and study their luminosity functions. Methods. We randomly vary the parameters of the standard fireball model to create virtual populations of afterglows. We use the luminosity of each burst at an observer’s time of 1 day to create a luminosity function and compare our results with available observ...
متن کاملCalibration of Gamma-Ray Burst Luminosity Indicators
Several gamma-ray burst (GRB) luminosity indicators have been proposed, which can be generally written in the form of L̂ = c ∏ x ai i , where c is the coefficient, xi is the i-th observable, and ai is its corresponding power-law index. Unlike Type-Ia supernovae, calibration of GRB luminosity indicators using a low-redshift sample is difficult. This is because the GRB rate drops rapidly at low re...
