The estimate of emission region locations of {\it Fermi} FSRQs

Abstract

We study the locations of emission regions through modelling the quasi-simultaneous multi-frequency spectral energy distributions of 21 {\it Fermi} flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) in the frame of a multi-component one-zone leptonic model. In our calculations, we take the detailed broad line region (BLR) structure into account and discuss the effect of the uncertainty of the BLR structure on constraining the location of the emission regions for each FSQR, meanwhile we also include both the internal and external absorptions. Our results indicate that (1) the contribution of external Compton-BLR component is important to $\gamma$-ray emission, and the energy density of external target photon fields depends on the location of the emission region, which can be derived through reproducing the observed $\gamma$-ray emission, and (2) the emission regions of FSRQs with relative low accretion disk luminosity lie in the region of $7.9\times 10^{16}$\ --\ $1.3\times 10^{18}$\ cm (300 -- 4300 Schwarzschild radii) from central black hole, and for FSRQs with high accretion disk luminosity, the emission regions locate in the larger region of $2.6\times 10^{17}$\ --\ $4.2\times 10^{18}$\ cm (300 -- 5600 Schwarzschild radii).
