Abstract
We investigate the electromagnetic structure of the ground-state and baryons using a Poincaré-covariant three-body Faddeev equation within the rainbow--ladder truncation. We calculate the complete set of elastic spin- multipole form factors, , , , and . The leading electric and magnetic form factors become markedly harder from the charm to the bottom sector, revealing the substantially more compact electromagnetic structure of the . For , the electric form factor and charge radius at low momentum transfer agree well with the available lQCD results. From the magnetic-dipole form factor at zero momentum transfer, , we obtain the magnetic moments and . For and , the electric-quadrupole structure exhibits a stronger charm-to-bottom evolution than the charge-normalized magnetic-octupole structure. Finally, comparison of the charm and bottom systems shows that both and the relation between the electric and magnetic radii move closer to their leading nonrelativistic heavy-quark expectations as the quark mass increases.
