Fundamental Plane of FSRQs from SDSS DR5 Quasar Catalogue

In this work, we explore a sample of 362 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) to investigate the jet formation. We find that the fundamental plane for our FSRQs can be expressed as . We also find that the 5 GHz luminosities are tightly related to both black hole mass and Eddington ratio, which is est...

Summary:In this work, we explore a sample of 362 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) to investigate the jet formation. We find that the fundamental plane for our FSRQs can be expressed as . We also find that the 5 GHz luminosities are tightly related to both black hole mass and Eddington ratio, which is established as .
