Blazars: the redder the more powerful cooling GRBs: the bluer the more powerful heating?? ? “Amati” “Ghirlanda” E peak [keV] E [erg]

Jet-accretion connection & location

17
Jet power
18
The jet cannot have less power than what required to produce the observed luminosity: P jet L obs 2222 > If P jet is twice as much, halves. We can take that as the minimum P jet. This limit is model-independent.
19
20
1 proton per electron no pairs Having pairs would reduce P jet. But where are they created?
21
Pairs and radio-galaxies
22
We cannot produce pairs here!!
23
Efficient pairs production if primary spectrum peaks at ~MeV
24
If z=0.3 Two goals: 1) reduce power 2) more energy to leptons, less to protons
25
Two epochs of heavy BH formation?
26
Recently, two complete surveys of blazars: BAT and LAT (Ajello+2009, 2012). BAT has fewer blazars, but more at high redshifts. All BAT blazars at z>2 have M BH >10 9 M 0. These all have L x > 10 47 erg/s and L disk > 0.1 L Edd
27
GG+2010, Volonteri+ 2012; GG+ 2013 Heavy & Active: M > 10 9 ; L disk > 0.1 L Edd
29
Hopkins+ 2007 Two epochs of formation of massive BH? Radio-loud: z~4 Radio-quiet: z~2
30
Jets spin high accretion efficiencies slow growth
31
It takes too long! Eddington accretion starting at z=20
32
Jets for all M/M Edd Location is an issue Look if radio-galaxies peak at ~1 MeV with L~10 45 erg/s Heavy BH in jetted AGNs form earlier Jets & Spin? Something must be changed Conclusions
