We present statistical analyses of large homogenous data sample of Fermi-detected blazars thoroughly studied in order to reassess the relationship between flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and subclasses of BL Lacertae objects (BL Lacs) blazar populations. We discovered from the average values of γ-ray (αγray) and X-ray (αXray) spectral indices that the sequence of distribution is indicative of blazar unification scheme. Analyses of FSRQs and BL Lacs data show difference in the shape of γ-ray and X-ray spectral indices: significant anti-correlation (r> - 0.79) exists between αγray and αXray spectral indices. The spectral energy distributions of the blazar subclasses show that FSRQs and BL Lacs have similar spectral properties which can be unified through evolutionary sequence. Nevertheless, there is a significant difference between the shapes of X-ray and γ-ray spectra of blazars suggestive that different mechanisms are responsible for spectral variations in the two energy bands. All these results suggest that there is a form of a unified scheme for all blazars.

BL Lacertae天体和平谱射电类星体光谱指数的多频研究

我们对费米检测到的耀变体的大型同质数据样本进行了彻底研究,以重新评估平谱射电类星体 (FSRQ) 与 BL Lacertae 天体 (BL Lacs) 耀变体种群子类之间的关系。我们从γ射线的平均值中发现(αγ-r一种) 和 X 射线 (αX-r一种) 光谱指数,即分布序列表示 blazar 统一方案。FSRQs 和 BL Lacs 数据的分析表明 γ 射线和 X 射线光谱指数的形状存在差异:之间存在显着的反相关 ( r > - 0.79)αγ-r一种αX-r一种光谱指数。耀变体亚类的光谱能量分布表明FSRQs和BL Lacs具有相似的光谱特性,可以通过进化序列统一。尽管如此,耀变体的 X 射线和 γ 射线光谱的形状之间存在显着差异,这表明不同的机制是导致两个能带光谱变化的原因。所有这些结果表明,所有耀变体都存在一种统一方案。
