Abstract

In this work, we collected a sample of BL Lacs, FR I and FR II(G) radio galaxies with available core and extended emissions from published works to discuss the unified schemes and estimate the Doppler factor for BL Lacs. Wilcoxon rank-sum test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test both suggest that the probabilities for the distribution of the extended luminosity of BL Lacs and that of FR I and FR II(G) radio galaxies to be from the same parent distribution are pWRS=0.779p_{\rm{WRS}}=0.779 and pKS=0.326p_{\rm{K-S}}=0.326, suggesting they are unified. Based on this unified schemes, we propose to estimate the Doppler factors for BL Lacs. Comparing the Doppler factor estimated by the fitting/regression method with those for the common sources in the literatures, we found a good linear correlation for common sources.
