Abstract:
By statistically analysing a large sample that includes Fermi-detected
blazars (FBs) and non-Fermi-detected blazars (NFBs), we find that
there are significant differences between FBs and NFBs in redshift,
black hole mass, jet kinetic power from cavity power, broad-line
luminosity and the ratio of core luminosity to absolute V-band
magnitude (Rv), but not in the ratio of the radio core to extended
flux (Rc) and the Eddington ratio. Compared with NFBs, FBs have larger
mean jet power, Rc and Rv, while having smaller mean redshift, black
hole mass and broad-line luminosity. These results support the fact
that the beaming effect is the main reason for differences between FBs
and NFBs, and that FBs are likely to have a more powerful jet. For
both FBs and NFBs, there are significant correlations between the jet
power and the accretion rate (traced by the broad-emission line
luminosity), and between the jet power and the black hole mass. For
FBs, the black hole mass does not have a significant influence on jet
power, while for NFBs, both the accretion rate and black hole mass
contribute to the jet power. Our results support the 'blazar sequence'
and show that the synchrotron peak frequency (νpeak) is associated
with the accretion rate but not with the black hole mass.
Description:
The selection criteria for the sample were that we tried to select the
largest group of blazars included in the multi-frequency catalogue of
blazars (the Roma BZCAT; Massaro et al.. 2009, Cat. J/A+A/495/691) with
reliable broad-line luminosity (used as a proxy for disc luminosity),
redshift, black hole mass and jet kinetic power. The sample of FBs was
directly from Xiong & Zhang (2014MNRAS.441.3375X 2014MNRAS.441.3375X).
The νpeak and Lpeak of our FBs were collected from Finke
(2013ApJ...763..134F 2013ApJ...763..134F) and Meyer et al. (2011, Cat. J/ApJ/740/98), and
the νpeak and Lpeak of NFBs from Nieppola et al. (2006, Cat.
J/A+A/445/441; 2008, Cat. J/A+A/488/867), Meyer et al. (2011, Cat.
J/ApJ/740/98), Wu, Gu & Jiang (2009RAA.....9..168W 2009RAA.....9..168W) and Aatrokoski et
al. (2011A&A...536A..15P 2011A&A...536A..15P).
