The optical-X-ray-gamma-ray spectral energy distributions of Gev gamma-ray loud blazars and connection among LBLs, HBLs and FSRQs

In this paper, we introduce a new composite spectral indices αγxγ = αxγ - αγ, and prove , that means αγxγ is intrinsic. We plot a αxox - αγxγ diagram for 25 Gev γ-ray blazars for which αx and αγ have been provided in the literature, where αxox = αox - αx which was introduced by Sambruna et al. (1996) and proved that it is intrinsic by our previous paper (Xie et al. 2001). Using this new composite color–color (αxox - αγxγ) diagram, we investigated the nature of the HBLs–LBLs relationship, and the BL Lacs–FSRQs relationship, in high-energy emission. The results show that the spectral energy distributions of three subclasses of Gev γ-ray loud blazars are different, but essentially continuous: HBLs and FSRQs occupy separated regions while LBLs bridge the gap between HBLs and FSRQs. The results are consistent with that derived from a low energy color–color(αxox - αoro) diagram by Sambruna et al. (1996) and Xie et al. (2001). However, on the αox - αxγ diagram, FSRQs, LBLs and HBLs occupy same region. Because both αγxγ and αxox are intrinsic, thus, the new connection among HBLs, LBLs and FSRQs obtained by us is intrinsic.
