Radio jets and {gamma}-rays of Fermi jetted AGNs

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The correlation between the kinetic jet power Pjet, intrinsic {gamma}-ray luminosity (L_int_), and accretion (L_disc_) may reveal the underlying jet physics in various black hole systems.

Description

We study the relation between kinetic jet power, intrinsic {gamma}-ray luminosity, and accretion by using a large sample of jetted active galactic nuclei (AGNs), including flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs), BL Lacertae objects (BL Lacs), {gamma}-ray narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies ({gamma}NLS1s), and radio galaxies.

Our main results are as follows: (1) The slope indices of the relation between Pjet and Lint are 0.85 +/- 0.01 for the whole sample, 0.70 +/- 0.02 for the FSRQs, 0.83 +/- 0.03 for the BL Lacs, 0.68 +/- 0.11 for the {gamma}NLS1s, and 0.93 +/- 0.09 for the radio galaxies, respectively. The jets in {gamma}NLS1s and radio galaxies almost follow the same P_jet_ - L_int_ correlation that was obtained for Fermi blazars. (2) The slope indices of the relation between Lint and Ldisc are 1.05 +/- 0.02 for the whole sample, 0.94 +/- 0.05 for the FSRQs, 1.14 +/- 0.05 for the BL Lacs, and 0.92 +/- 0.18 for the {gamma}NLS1s, respectively.

The {gamma}NLS1s and radio galaxies almost also follow the Lint-Ldisc correlation derived for Fermi blazars. (3) The jet power is larger than the luminosity of accretion discs for almost all jetted AGNs. Jet power depends on both the Eddington ratio and black hole mass.

We obtain logP_jet_ ~ (1.00 +/- 0.02)logL_disc_ for the whole sample, which is consistent with the theoretically predicted coefficient. These results may imply that the jets of jetted AGNs are powered by the Blandford-Znajek mechanism.
