Properties of blazar jets defined by an economy of power.

PETROPOULOU M. and DERMER C.D.

Abstract (from CDS):

The absolute power of a relativistic black hole jet includes the power in the magnetic field, the leptons, the hadrons, and the radiated photons. A power analysis of a relativistic radio/γ-ray blazar jet leads to bifurcated leptonic synchrotron-Compton (LSC) and leptohadronic synchrotron (LHS) solutions that minimize the total jet power. Higher Doppler factors with increasing peak synchrotron frequency are implied in the LSC model. Strong magnetic fields {B}^′\gtrsim 100 G are found for the LHS model with variability times 10^{3} s , in accord with highly magnetized, reconnection-driven jet models. Proton synchrotron models of \gtrsim 100 GeV blazar radiation can have sub-Eddington absolute jet powers, but models of dominant GeV radiation in flat spectrum radio quasars require excessive power.
