The Fundamental Planes of Black Hole Activity for High-Synchrotron-Peaked BL Lacertae Objects

The radio--X-ray correlation and Fundamental Plane (FP) of black hole activity can serve as a diagnostic tool for the origin of X-ray emissions. There was a scaling relation between radio and X-ray emissions for High-synchrotron-peaked BL Lacertae objects (HBLs), i.e., $L_{\rm{R}}\propto L_{\rm{X}}^{0.64}$, which can be explained by ADAF-dominated mode or synchrotron cooling (Syn-c). However, many results of studying blazar physics show that the X-ray emissions of HBLs are mainly produced by the synchrotron process of jets. Therefore, Syn-c appears to provide a plausible explanation for this relation. To further clarify the origin of X-ray emissions of HBLs, we constructed a sample containing 69 HBLs in this paper to re-investigate their radio--X-ray correlation and FP. Considering the Doppler beaming effect, we find that the intrinsic radio--X-ray correlation and FP of HBLs are $L_{\rm R,int}\propto L_{\rm X,int}^{0.68}$ and $\log L_{\rm R,int}=(0.57\pm0.06)\log L_{\rm X,int}+(0.33\pm0.11)\log M_{\rm BH}+(12.65\pm2.00)$, respectively. Our results agree with the scaling relation mention above, which suggests these scaling relations are not artificial. By employing the theoretical model of Syn-c, we find that these shallow radio--X-ray correlations and FP are caused by Syn-c, which implies that the X-ray emissions of HBLs may be produced by rapidly cooling, high-energy electrons accelerated at a shock. This is consistent with results of the recent X-ray polarization observations of HBLs. Our results provide the observational evidence of $L_{\rm R}\propto L_{\rm X_{\text{Syn-c}}}^{0.6\sim0.7}$.

Revisiting the Fundamental Planes of Black Hole Activity for Strong Jet Sources

Whether the X-ray emissions of strong jet sources originate from disk+coronas or jets is still controversial. In this work, we constructed a strong jet sample containing 50 flat-spectrum radio quasars, 51 low-synchrotron-peaked BL Lac objects and 18 intermediate-synchrotron-peaked BL Lac objects to explore the origin of X-ray emissions. Generally, blazars are the typical radio-loud active galactic nucleus with a powerful jet toward the observer, causing their broadband emissions to be boosted. By considering the Doppler boosting effect, we obtain the intrinsic radio--X-ray correlation and the fundamental plane (FP) of black hole activity for the strong jet sources: the intrinsic radio--X-ray correlation is $L_{\rm{R,int}}\propto L_{\rm{X,int}}^{1.04}$, which favor the jet-dominated mode, the intrinsic FP is $\log L_{\rm{R,int}}=(1.07\pm0.06)\log L_{\rm{X,int}}-(0.22\pm0.10)\log M_{\rm{BH}}-(3.77\pm2.11)$, which can be interpreted by the hybrid mode of jet+standard disk. Our results suggest that the X-ray emissions of strong jet sources are dominated by the jets, but there may also be a small contribution from the disk. In addition, the radio--X-ray correlation and FP of strong jet sources do not have a significant dependence on the Eddington-ratio.
