A study of Intrinsic $γ$-ray Emission for {\it Fermi}/LAT-detected BL Lacs

BL Lacs are one subclass of blazars with highly energetic $γ$-ray emission, which is strongly boosted by a relativistic beaming effect. The latest catalogue of the 10 years of {\it Fermi}/LAT data Abdollahi et al. (2020) and the $γ$-ray Doppler factors in Pei et al. (2020) provide us with a large BL Lac sample to study their jet emission morphologies and intrinsic properties. In this paper, we collected a sample of 294 {\it Fermi} BL Lacs and probed the correlations between the $γ$-ray emissions and luminosity distances. Our analyses give following conclusions: (1) the observed $γ$-ray emissions are really boosted by the $γ$-ray Doppler factor, and the intrinsic $γ$-ray emissions are closely correlated with luminosity distances. (2) the morphology of jet emissions for HBLs may be continuous, while that for IBLs may be the case of a moving sphere in the $γ$-ray bands.

The relationship between the radio core-dominance parameter and spectral index in different classes of extragalactic radio sources (III)

Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can be divided into two major classes, namely radio-loud and radio-quiet AGNs. A small subset of the radio-loud AGNs is called blazars, which are believed to be unified with Fanaroff-Riley type I and type II (FRI&II) radio galaxies. Following our previous work, we present a latest sample of 966 sources with measured radio flux densities of the core and extended components. The sample includes 83 BL Lacs, 473 FSRQs, 101 Seyferts, 245 galaxies, 52 FRIs&IIs and 12 unidentified sources. We then calculate the radio core-dominance parameters and spectral indices and study their relationship. Our analysis shows that the core-dominance parameters and spectral indices are quite different for different types of sources. We also corroborate that the correlation between core-dominance parameter and radio spectral index extends over all the sources in a large sample presented.
