The Systematics of Relativistically Beamed Jets from Active Galaxies and the Blazar Divide

ORAL

Abstract

We investigate the systematics of the properties of highly relativistic jets at multiple frequencies, including gamma-ray data from the Fermi telescope and MOJAVE radio imaging on parsec scales. We test the hypothesis that the blazar divide constitutes a dichotomy. We also explore possible measures of the Doppler factor for these highly Doppler-beamed active galactic nuclei.
