Lorentz factor distribution of blazars from the optical Fundamental Plane of black hole activity
Blazar radiation is dominated by a relativistic jet which can be modelled at first approximation using just two intrinsic parameters – the Lorentz factor Γ and the viewing angle θ. Blazar jet observations are often beamed due to relativistic effects, complicating the understanding of these intrinsic properties. The most common …
