A correlation analysis of flux ratios and the Doppler factor for EGRET AGN sources
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a correlation analysis between the flux ratio of high-energy γ-ray emission to synchrotron emission and the Doppler factor for a sample of EGRET AGNs. The result favors a model that attributes the EGRET emission of AGNs to inverse-Compton scattering on photons external to the jet.

The Identification of EGRET Sources with Flat-Spectrum Radio Sources
We present a method to assess the reliability of the identification of EGRET sources with extragalactic radio sources. We verify that EGRET is detecting the blazar class of AGN. However, many published identifications are found to be questionable. We provide a table of 42 blazars which we expect to be robust identifications of EGRET sources. This includes one previously unidentified EGRET sourc...
متن کاملA Connection between Apparent Vlba Jet Speeds and Initial Agn Detections Made by the Fermi Gamma-ray Observatory
In its first three months of operations, the Fermi Gamma-ray Observatory has detected approximately one quarter of the radio-flux limited MOJAVE sample of bright flat-spectrum AGN at energies above 100 MeV. We have investigated the apparent parsec-scale jet speeds of 26 MOJAVE AGN measured by the VLBA that are in the LAT Bright AGN Sample (LBAS). We find that the γ-ray bright quasars have faste...

In its first three months of operations, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Observatory has detected approximately one quarter of the radio-flux-limited MOJAVE sample of bright flat-spectrum active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at energies above 100 MeV. We have investigated the apparent parsec-scale jet speeds of 26 MOJAVE AGNs measured by the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) that are in the LAT bright AGN sample (L...
متن کاملAn Agn Identification for 3eg J2006-2321
We present a multiwavelength analysis of the high-energy gamma-ray source 3EG J2006-2321 (l = 18 • .82, b = −26 • .26). The flux of this source above 100 MeV is shown to be variable on time scales of days and months. Optical observations and careful examination of archived radio data indicate that its most probable identification is with PMN J2005–2310, a flat-spectrum radio quasar with a 5-GHz...
متن کاملThe Inhomogeneous Jet Parameters in Active Galactic Nuclei
The Königl inhomogeneous jet model is applied to investigate the properties of the jets in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). A sample of the AGNs is collected, in which the measurements of the angular size and radio flux density of the VLBI core, proper motion of the components in the jet, and X-ray flux density are included. The inhomogeneous jet parameters are derived with the same assumptions f...
