Multi-wavelength analysis of CGRaBS blazars

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present the results of a multi-frequency, time-averaged analysis of blazars included in the Candidate Gamma-ray Blazar Survey catalog.

Description

Our sample consists of 324 {gamma}-ray detected ({gamma}-ray loud) and 191 {gamma}-ray undetected ({gamma}-ray quiet) blazars; we consider all the data up to 2016 April 1. We find that both the {gamma}-ray loud and {gamma}-ray quiet blazar populations occupy similar regions in the WISE color-color diagram, and {gamma}-ray loud sources are brighter in the radio and X-ray bands.

A simple one-zone synchrotron inverse-Compton emission model is applied to derive the physical properties of both populations. We find that the central black hole mass and accretion disk luminosity (L_disk_) computed from the modeling of the optical-UV emission with a Shakura-Sunyaev disk reasonably matches that estimated from the optical spectroscopic emission-line information. A significantly larger Doppler boosting in the {gamma}-ray loud blazars is noted, and their jets are more radiatively efficient.

On the other hand, the {gamma}-ray quiet objects are more MeV-peaked and thus could be potential targets for next-generation MeV missions. Our results confirm earlier findings about the accretion-jet connection in blazars; however, many of the {gamma}-ray quiet blazars tend to deviate from the recent claim that the jet power exceeds L_disk_ in blazars. A broadband study, considering a larger set of {gamma}-ray quiet objects and also including BL Lacs, will be needed to confirm/reject this hypothesis as well as to verify the evolution of the powerful high-redshift blazars into their low-power nearby counterparts.
