Abstract

In this paper, we have selected a sample of 64 teraelectronvolt blazars, with redshift, from those classified in the fourth Fermi Large Area Telescope source catalog\footnote{\url{https://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/access/lat/8yr_catalog/}}. We have obtained the values of the relevant physical parameters by performing a log-parabolic fitting of the average-state multiwavelength spectral energy distributions. We estimate the range of the radiation zone parameters, such as the Doppler factor (D{D}), the magnetic field strength (BB), the radiative zone radius (RR) and the peak Lorentz factor (γp{\gamma _{\rm p}}) of nonthermal electrons. Here, we show that (1) there is a strong linear positive correlation between the intrinsic synchrotron peak frequency and the intrinsic inverse Compton scattering (ICs) peak frequency among different types of blazars; (2) if radio bands are excluded, the spectral index of each band is negatively correlated with the intrinsic peak frequency; (3) there is a strong linear negative correlation between the curvature at the peak and the intrinsic peak frequency of the synchrotron bump, and a weak positive correlation between the curvature at the peak and the intrinsic peak frequency of the ICs bump; (4) there is a strong linear positive correlation between the intrinsic ICs peak luminosity and intrinsic γ\gamma-ray luminosity and between the intrinsic ICs peak frequency and peak Lorentz factor; (5) there is a strong negative linear correlation between log  B\rm log{\;B} and log  γp\rm log{\;\gamma_{p}}; and (6) there is no correlation between log  R\rm log{\;R} and log  γp\rm log{\;\gamma_{p}}.
