The basic parameters of γ-ray-loud blazars
نویسنده
چکیده
We determined the basic parameters, such as the central black hole mass (M), the boosting factor (or Doppler factor) (δ), the propagation angle (Φ) and the distance along the axis to the site of γ-ray production (d) for 23 γ-ray-loud blazars using their available variability timescales. In this method, the absorption effect depends on the γ-ray energy, emission size and property of the accretion disk. Using the intrinsic γ-ray luminosity as a fraction λ of the Eddington luminosity, L γ = λLLedd. and the optical depth equal to unity, we can determine the upper limit of the central black hole masses. We found that the black hole masses range between 107M⊙ and 109M⊙ when λ = 0.1 and 1.0 are adopted. Since this method is based on gamma-ray emissions and the short time-scale of the sources, it can also be used for central black hole mass determination of high redshift gamma-ray sources. In the case of the upper limit of black hole mass there is no clear difference between BLs and FSRQs, which suggests that the central black hole masses do not play an important role in the evolutionary sequence of blazars.

Basic properties of Gamma-ray loud blazars
In this paper, a method is proposed to determine the basic properties of γ-ray loud blazars, among them the central black hole mass, M , the Doppler factor, δ, the propagation angle of the γ-rays with respect to the symmetric axis of a twotemperature accretion disk, Φ, and the distance (i.e. the height above the accretion disk), d at which the γ-rays are created, for seven γ-ray loud blazars wi...
متن کاملA theoretical unifying scheme for gamma-ray bright blazars
The phenomenology of γ–ray bright blazars can be accounted for by a sequence in the source power and intensity of the diffuse radiation field surrounding the relativistic jet. Correspondingly, the equilibrium particle distribution peaks at different energies. This leads to a trend in the observed properties: an increase of the observed power corresponds to: 1) a decrease in the frequencies of t...
متن کاملRelation between γ-rays and emission lines for the γ-ray loud blazars
The relation between the γ-ray and the emission line luminosities for a sample of 36 γ-ray loud blazars is investigated; an apparent correlation between them, Lγ ∝ L 0.69±0.11 Line , with a correlation coefficient r = 0.741 and a chance probability of p = 1.9× 10, is found. It is found, however, that there is no intrinsic correlation between them: the apparent correlation is due to the redshift...
متن کاملOn the Contribution of Unresolved Blazars to the Extragalactic Gamma Ray Background
We present a model for estimating the blazar contribution to the extragalactic γ-ray background (EGRB) in the EGRET energy range. It is based on inverse-Compton scattering as the dominant γ-ray production process in the jets of flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and BL Lac objects, and on the unification scheme of radio-loud AGN. Depending on the evolutionary behaviour of radio-loud AGN, our e...
