Journal ArticleDOI
A unifying view of the spectral energy distributions of blazars
Giovanni Fossati,Laura Maraschi,Annalisa Celotti,Annalisa Celotti,Andrea Comastri,Gabriele Ghisellini +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors collected data at well-sampled frequencies from the radio to the g-ray range for the following three complete samples of blazars: the Slew survey, the 1-Jy samples of BL Lacs and the 2 -Jy sample of flat-spectrum radio-loud quasars (FSRQs).
Journal ArticleDOI
A theoretical unifying scheme for gamma-ray bright blazars
Gabriele Ghisellini,Annalisa Celotti,Annalisa Celotti,Giovanni Fossati,Laura Maraschi,Andrea Comastri +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a classification scheme for blazars based on the correlations among the physical parameters derived in the present paper by applying to 51 g-ray loud blazARS two of the most accepted scenarios for the broad-band emission of blazar, namely the synchrotron self-Compton and external Compton models.
Journal ArticleDOI
The synthesis of the cosmic X-ray background in the Chandra and XMM-Newton era
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed and self-consistent modeling of the cosmic X-ray background (XRB) based on the most up-to-date Xray luminosity functions (XLF) and evolution of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is presented.
