The Broadband Spectral Energy Distribution of the MOJAVE Sample

TL;DR

This study constructs a broadband spectral energy distribution catalog for the MOJAVE sample, integrating radio to gamma-ray data to investigate the emission mechanisms and sites of high-energy emission in active galactic nuclei.

Contribution

It introduces a comprehensive broadband SED catalog for the MOJAVE sample, combining multi-wavelength data to analyze high-energy emission origins in AGN jets.

Findings

Two thirds of MOJAVE sources detected by Fermi/LAT.

Preliminary results for 6 sources show diverse emission characteristics.

The catalog aids in pinpointing high-energy emission sites in AGN.

Abstract

We are constructing the broadband SED catalog of the MOJAVE sample from the radio to the gamma-ray band using MOJAVE, Swift UVOT/XRT/BAT, and Fermi/LAT data, in order to understand the emission mechanism of extragalactic outflows and to investigate the site of high-energy emission in AGN. Since the launch of Fermi gamma-ray Space Telescope in August 2008, two thirds of the MOJAVE sources have been detected by Fermi/LAT. Combining the results of high-resolution VLBI, X-ray, and gamma-ray observations of the jet-dominated AGN sample, we want to pin down the origin of high-energy emission in relativistic jets. Here we present our overall project and preliminary results for 6 selected sources.
