AbstractRecent measurements of frequency-dependent shift of radio-core locations indicate that the ratio of the magnetic to kinetic energy flux (the σ parameter) is of the order of unity. These results are consistent with predictions of magnetically-arrested-disk (MAD) models of a jet formation, but contradict the predictions of leptonic models of γ-ray production in luminous blazars. We demonstrate this discrepancy by computing the γ-ray-to-synchrotron luminosity ratio (the q parameter) as a function of a distance from the black hole for different values of σ and using both spherical and planar models for broad-line region and dusty torus. We find that it is impossible to reproduce observed q ≫ 1 for jets with σ ≥ 1. This may indicate that blazar radiation is produced in reconnection layers or in spines of magnetically stratified jets.

To study broad line region (BLR) size and kinematics spectral monitoring of NGC 3516, NGC 4151, NGC 5548, NGC 7469 and 3C390.3 has been performed with the 6 m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory (N. Arkhyz- North Caucasus) in 1986–1996. The spectra are obtained in the Nasmyth focus using the TV scanner with a resolution of 3–4Å and S/N= 10–25 within 4000–5200ÅÅ (1986–94, 500 spectra), and in the prime focus with the spectrograph UAGS (a long-slit mode) + CCD (resolution 5–10Å) or multi-pupil field spectrograph (MPFS) + CCD (resolution 4Å) within 4000–7000ÅÅ and S/N=50–100 (1995–96, 270 spectra).

AbstractA hydromagnetic wind model from a dusty molecular disk (Emmering, Blandford, & Shlosman 1992) was applied to the BLR in NGC 5548 and produced synthetic C IV line profiles as a function of time. The model C IV profiles are compared to data from the 1993 IUE/HST campaign and properties of the the BLR of NGC 5548 are inferred.
