Abstract

In this work, we collected a sample of 69 TeV blazars from TeVCat, obtained their multi-wavelength observations, and fitted their spectral energy distributions by using the second degree polynomial function. The structure parameters of the synchrotron bumps for 68 blazars and those of the inverse-Compton bumps for 56 blzars are obtained. Then, we adopted statistical analysis to the parameters (curvature, peak frequency, peak luminosity, bolometric luminosity, and X/γ\gamma-ray spectral indexes). From our analysis and discussions, we can get following conclusions: 1. There is a clear positive correlation between the synchrotron peak frequency, logνps\log \nu_p^s, and the inverse-Compton peak frequency logνpIC\log \nu_p^{IC}, and that between the synchrotron peak luminosity, logνpsLps\log \nu_p^s L_p^s, and the inverse-Compton peak luminosity, logνpICLpIC\log \nu_p^{IC}L_p^{IC}. 2. The correlation between the peak frequency and the curvature of synchrotron bump is clearly different from that of the inverse-Compton bump, which further indicates that there are different emission mechanisms between them. 3. There is a correlation between logνpIC\log \nu_p^{IC} and γ\gamma-ray spectral index, αγ\alpha_\gamma, for the TeV blazars: logνpIC=(4.59±0.30)αγ+(32.67±0.59)\log \nu^{IC}_p = -(4.59 \pm 0.30) \alpha_\gamma + (32.67 \pm 0.59), which is consistent with previous work of Abdo et al.(2010). 4. An "L-shape" relation is found between logνps\log \nu^s_p and αX\alpha_X for both TeV blazars and Fermi blazars. A significant correlation between logνps\log \nu^s_p and X-ray photon index (αX\alpha_X) is found for the TeV blazars with high synchrotron peak frequency: logνps=(3.20±0.34)αX+(24.33±0.79)\log \nu^{s}_{p} = -(3.20 \pm 0.34) \alpha_X + (24.33 \pm 0.79), while the correlation is positive for low synchrotron peaked TeV sources. 5. In the αXαγ\alpha_X-\alpha_\gamma diagram, there is also an "L-shape", the anti-correlation is consistent with the available results in the literature, (...)
