AGN Types

  • Accretion Dominated AGN (AD-AGN)

Radio-quiet QSO Seyfert galaxies Obscured AGN about 90% of AGN

  • Non-Thermal Radiation Dominated

AGN (NT-AGN) Blazars (FSRQ + BLLACS) Misdirected NT-AGN (Radio Galaxies, SSRQs) about 10% of AGN

Blazars

  • AGN
  • Highly variable at all frequencies
  • Highly polarized
  • Radio core dominance
  • Superluminal speeds

Observed at a small angle to the jet and therefore rare AGN : 5-8% of all AGN (but only at optical or X-ray frequencies!) Blazars are the dominant population of extragalactic point sources at

  • Gamma-ray
  • TeV
  • Microwave frequencies
slide-5
SLIDE 5

Normally the electromagnetic emission from blazars is assumed to be due to the Synchrotron-Self Compton mechanism (SSC) or SSC+External Component of a population of electrons in a jet of material that is moving at relativistic speed at a small angle with respect to the observer.

Log parabolic photon spectra can be explained as due to Synchrotron radiation from a log-parabolic particle distribution

(Massaro et al. 2004a A&A 413, 489, 2004b, A&A 422,103)

SSC from a log parabolic electron distribution

(Massaro et al. 2005, in press)

SLIDE 15
  • Spectral curvature observed around the Synchrotron peak is

due to intrinsic curvature of emitting particle distribution

  • SSC of a particle distribution distributed as a Log-Parabola

implies intrinsic curvature around Inverse Compton peak leaving little room for curvature resulting from EBL absorption

  • Absorption due to EBL could be significantly lower than

previously thought

  • Supported also by

– Aharonian et al. 2005 A&A 437, 395 Cut off energy in TeV spectrum of MKN421 (3.1TeV) lower than that of

MKN501 (6.2 TeV), but redshift is very similar

– Aharonian et al. 2005 astro/ph 0508073
