Phenomenological Analogies in TeV Blazars and Black Hole X-ray Binaries in Low State
2005
Blazars are well known for the violent variability from the radio to gamma-ray wavelengths. In this paper, we present a brief summary of the X-ray variability recently obtained for TeV blazars. We also point out the probable similarities of the X-ray variability characteristics between blazars and microblazars. Such phenomenological analogies could be interpreted and unified with the synchrotron X-ray emissions from the jets of the two classes of objects that differ in black hole mass by factors of 107. The phenomenological analogies in blazars and microblazars (both are jet-dominated) might be parallel to those in black hole X-ray binaries in high/soft state and Seyfert galaxies (both are disk-dominated).
