The physical properties of \textit{Fermi} TeV BL Lac objects jets
Abstract
We investigate the physical properties of \textit{Fermi} TeV BL Lac objects jets by modeling the quasi-simultaneous spectral energy distribution of 29 \textit{Fermi} TeV BL Lacs in the frame of a one-zone leptonic synchrotron self-Compton model. Our main results are the following: (i) There is a negative correlation between and in our sample, which suggests that and are dependent on each other mainly in Thomson regime. (ii) There are negative correlations between and , the and , which is a signature of the energy-dependence statistical acceleration or the stochastic acceleration. There is a significant correlation between and , which suggests that the curvature of the electron energy distribution is attributed to the energy-dependence statistical acceleration mechanism. (iii) By assuming one proton per relativistic electron, we estimate the jet power and radiative power. A size relation is found in our sample. The suggests that the jets are particle dominated, and the means that the mean energy of relativistic electrons approaches . There are not significant correlations between and black hole mass in high or low state with a sub-sample of 18 sources, which suggests that the jet power weakly depends on the black hole mass. (iv) There is a correlation between the changes in the flux density at 1 TeV and the changes in the , which suggests the change/evolution of electron energy distribution may be mainly responsible for the flux variation.
