SED, optical & gamma-ray parameters for 656 blazars
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
It is known that the blazar jet emissions are dominated by nonthermal radiation, while the accretion disk jets are normally dominated by thermal emission.
Description
In this work, ourOptical aim is to study the connection between the two types of emission by investigating the correlation between the blazar emission-line intensity property, which embodies the nature of an accretion disk, and the {gamma}-ray flux property, which is the representative of jet emission.
We compiled a sample of 656 blazars with available emission-line equivalent widths (EWs), the GeV {gamma}-ray flux, and the spectral energy distribution (SED) information from the literature. In this work, we found 55 previous blazar candidates of uncertain types (BCUs) that are now identified as flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs), and found 52 "changing-look" blazars based on their EWs, 45 of which are newly confirmed.

These changing-look blazars have a larger accretion ratio (M/M_Edd_) than BL Lacertae (BL Lac) objects. In addition, we suggest that the lower synchrotron peak blazars (LSPs) could be the source of changing-look blazars because 90.7% of the changing-look blazars in this work are confirmed as LSPs. An anticorrelation between EW and continuum intensity, the so-called global "Baldwin effect" (BEff), has been confirmed.
We suggest that the steeper global BEff observed for the blazar than for radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (RQ-AGNs) is caused by the inverse Compton scattering of broad-emission-line photons. This interpretation is further supported by the positive correlation between the emission-line EW and intrinsic inverse Compton luminosity.
