相关论文: A spectral study of gamma-ray emitting AGN

In this paper I investigate the $\gamma$-ray spectra of AGN by summing up the intensity and the power-law fit statistic of Quasars and OVV's and BL Lac's separately. The spectrum of the average AGN is softer than that of the extragalactic…

ROSAT observations of a large sample of bright gamma-ray (E > 100 MeV) blazars are presented. Results of a detailed spectral analysis in the soft $\sim$ 0.1-2.0 keV energy range are discussed in relation to the overall energy distribution…

We analyze the angular power spectrum (APS) of the unresolved gamma-ray background (UGRB) emission and combine it with the measured properties of the resolved gamma-ray sources of the Fermi-LAT 4FGL catalog. Our goals are to dissect the…

We study the X-ray spectra of 114 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQ) using the hardness ratios as given in the WGA catalogue of ROSAT sources. This sample includes all WGA FSRQ with high-quality data and comprises about 20 per cent of…

We have recently proposed a new simplified scenario where blazars are classified as flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) or BL Lacs according to the prescriptions of unified schemes, and to a varying combination of Doppler boosted radiation…

Average Spectral Energy Distributions (SED) for different subgroups of blazars are derived from available homogeneous (but small) data sets, including the gamma-ray band. Comparing Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQ) with BL Lacs extracted…

The gamma-ray energy spectra of bright blazars of the LAT Bright AGN Sample (LBAS) are investigated using Fermi-LAT data. Spectral properties (hardness, curvature and variability) established using a data set accumulated over 6 months of…

Knowing the site of gamma-ray emission in AGN jets will do much for our understanding of the physics of the source. In particular, if the emission region is close to the black hole then absorption of gamma-rays with photons from the…

We present statistical analyses of a large homogenous data sample of Fermi-detected blazars thoroughly studied in order to reassess the relationship between flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and subclasses of BL Lacertae objects (BL Lacs)…

Deviation of the gamma-ray energy spectra of Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs) from a simple power law has been previously observed but the cause of this remains unidentified. If the gamma-ray emission region is close to the central black…

Starting in 1991 we have performed a regular monitoring of EGRET sources with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope and the IRAM 30-m at Pico Veleta. In comparison with data on a sample of flat-spectrum quasars which have not been seen by EGRET we…

We present a model for estimating the blazar contribution to the extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGRB) in the EGRET energy range. It is based on inverse-Compton scattering as the dominant gamma-ray production process in the jets of flat…

Detection of Gamma-ray emission from a class of active galactic nuclei (viz blazars), has been one of the important findings from the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO). However, their Gamma-ray luminosity function has not been well…

We construct the first X-ray selected sample of broad line radio-loud AGN from the EMSS survey. In order to test unifying schemes for radio-loud objects, their spectral and statistical properties (both flat and steep spectrum objects) are…

Based on a 10 years sample of gamma-ray flares of FSRQs collected with FERMI and AGILE, I report on this proceeding the advance on a statistical study of variability for a sample of more than 300 FSRQs. I will focus on waiting time between…

The radio properties of blazars detected by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have been observed as part of the VLBA Imaging and Polarimetry Survey (VIPS). This large, flux-limited sample of active…

Flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) are bright active galactic nuclei surrounded by gas clouds within a UV-visible intense radiation field that form the so-called broad line region (BLR). These objects emit relativistic jets from a region…

We present the statistic results of GeV spectral breaks of bright gamma-ray flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) in the energy range of 0.1-10 GeV based on New Pass 8 date of the Large Area Telescope abroad on Fermi Gamma-ray Space…

Radio and gamma-ray emission from active galactic nuclei (AGN) are thought to share a common origin, related to the ejection phenomena in the vicinity of supermassive black holes. Thanks to its sensitivity, surveying capability, and broad…

We present the first observations at medium-hard X-rays with ASCA in 1998 August--November of four Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs), characterized by unusually steep soft X-ray spectra (photon index, \Gamma_{0.2-2.4 keV} \sim 2-2.5), as…
