The physical properties of \textit{Fermi} TeV BL Lac objects jets

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We investigate the physical properties of \textit{Fermi} TeV BL Lac objects jets by modeling the quasi-simultaneous spectral energy distribution of 29 \textit{Fermi} TeV BL Lacs in the frame of a one-zone leptonic synchrotron self-Compton model. Our main results are the following: (i) There is a negative correlation between BB and δδ in our sample, which suggests that BB and δδ are dependent on each other mainly in Thomson regime. (ii) There are negative correlations between νsyν_{\text{sy}} and rr, the νICν_{\text{IC}} and rr, which is a signature of the energy-dependence statistical acceleration or the stochastic acceleration. There is a significant correlation between rr and ss, which suggests that the curvature of the electron energy distribution is attributed to the energy-dependence statistical acceleration mechanism. (iii) By assuming one proton per relativistic electron, we estimate the jet power and radiative power. A size relation Pe∼Pp>Pr≳PBP_{\text{e}} \sim P_{\text{p}} > P_{\text{r}} \gtrsim P_{\text{B}} is found in our sample. The Pe>PBP_{\text{e}}>P_{\text{B}} suggests that the jets are particle dominated, and the Pe∼PpP_{\text{e}}\sim P_{\text{p}} means that the mean energy of relativistic electrons approaches mp/mem_{\text{p}}/m_{\text{e}}. There are not significant correlations between PjetP_{\text{jet}} and black hole mass in high or low state with a sub-sample of 18 sources, which suggests that the jet power weakly depends on the black hole mass. (iv) There is a correlation between the changes in the flux density at 1 TeV and the changes in the γpeakγ_{\text{peak}}, which suggests the change/evolution of electron energy distribution may be mainly responsible for the flux variation.
