Broadband multi-wavelength study of LHAASO detected AGN

Recently, the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) collaboration presented the first catalog of $\gamma$-ray sources using 508 days of LHAASO data, from March 2021 to September 2022. This catalog contains four blazars and a possible liner-type AGN counterpart. In this work, we establish averaged multi-wavelength SEDs by combining data from the \textsl{Fermi}-Large Area Telescope, \textsl{Swift}, ZTF, and WISE covering the same period as the LHAASO detection. In general, these five AGNs are found in low states at all wavelengths. To study the multi-wavelength properties of these AGNs, several jet emission models, including the one-zone leptonic model, the one-zone leptonic and hadronuclear ($pp$) model, the one-zone proton-synchrotron model, and the spine-layer model are applied to reproduce their averaged SEDs, respectively. We find that the one-zone leptonic model can reproduce most of the SEDs, except for the high-energy tail of the LHAASO spectra of Mrk 421 and Mrk 501. To improve the fitting, emission from $pp$ interactions is favoured in the framework of a one-zone model. The spine-layer model, which can be treated as a multi-zone scenario, can also provide good spectral fits. The influence of different extragalactic background light models on fitting LHAASO energy spectrum is also discussed.

Awakening of two $γ$-ray high redshift flat-spectrum radio quasars in the southern hemisphere

High-redshift blazars are valuable tools to study the early Universe. So far only a handful of $γ$-ray blazars have been found at redshifts above 3. $γ$-ray signals are detected in the direction of PMN J2219-2719 ($z=3.63$) and PMN J2321-0827 ($z=3.16$) by analyzing the 10-year $Fermi$-LAT Pass 8 data. PMN J2219-2719 is not distinguished from the background in the global analysis. During the 5-month epoch, the TS value is 47.8 and the flux is more than 10 times of the 10-year averaged flux. In addition, the angular distance between the $γ$-ray position and the radio position of PMN J2219-2719 is only ${0.04}^{\circ}$. Moreover, the $γ$-ray and infrared light curves of long time scale are very similar, which support the association between the $γ$-ray source and PMN J2219-2719. The global analysis of PMN J2321-0827 suggest a new $γ$-ray source, during the flare phase, the TS value is 61.4 and the $γ$-ray flux increased significantly. The association probability suggests that PMN J2321-0827 may be the counterpart of the new $γ$-ray source. In the future, the number of high-redshift $γ$-ray sources will increase by combining $Fermi$-LAT and the upcoming Large Synoptic Survey Telescope.
