In the scheme we envisage, sources jets with accretion power greater than ∼ 10−2 of the Eddington luminosity [Narayan et al.(1997), Ghisellini et al.(2009)] have jets that emanate from the vicinity of radiatively efficient accretion disks with strong broad line regions, and the jets are characterized by a single flow velocity. Sources with accretion power less than ∼ 10−2 of the Eddington luminosity have jets that emanate from the vicinity of radiatively inefficient accretion disks with weak or no broad emission line regions, and the jet flows exhibit velocity gradients in the form of a decelerating [Georganopoulos & Kazanas(2003)] and/or a fast spine/slow sheath flow [Ghisellini et al.(2005)]. The phenomenology of a source, therefore, depends on its accretion environment, the jet power, and the jet orientation relative to the line of sight. The situation emerging from Fermi observations is briefly discussed along with ways to evaluate this scheme through comparison to observations.10 pagesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
