Uncovering the physics behind the blazar sequence using a realistic model for jet emission
William J. Potter, Garret Cotter
Blazar spectra are one of the most important windows into the physical processes occurring along jets. The spectrum, composed from the different emitting regions along the jet, all…
Synchrotron and inverse-Compton emission from blazar jets - IV. BL Lac type blazars and the physical basis for the blazar sequence
William J. Potter, Garret Cotter
In this paper we investigate the properties of a sample of six BL Lacs by fitting their spectra using our inhomogeneous jet model with an accelerating, magnetically dominated, para…
The Cosmic Evolution of Fermi BL Lacertae Objects
M. Ajello, R. W. Romani, D. Gasparrini +14
Fermi has provided the largest sample of gamma-ray selected blazars to date. In this work we use a uniformly selected set of 211 BL Lacertae (BL Lac) objects detected by it Fermi d…
Synchrotron and inverse-Compton emission from blazar jets - III. Compton-dominant blazars
William J. Potter, Garret Cotter
In this paper we develop the extended jet model of Potter & Cotter to model the simultaneous multi-wavelength spectra of six Compton-dominant blazars. We include an accelerating pa…
Spectroscopy of The Largest Ever Gamma-ray Selected BL Lac Sample
Michael S. Shaw, Roger W. Romani, Garret Cotter +7
We report on spectroscopic observations covering most of the 475 BL Lacs in the 2nd Fermi LAT catalog of AGN. Including archival measurements (correcting several erroneous literatu…
