Abstract

We study broad line and multi-wave luminosity relations for 80 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) detected by Fermi LAT. Our results are as follows: for FSRQs, the correlations between log L and log L, between log L and log L, between log L and log L, between log L and log L are significant; the correlation between log L and log L ( P=0.08) is not significant, but might be refereed as a 'trend' of significant correlation. These results support a close link between jet formation and accretion disk, and the L- L correlation suggests that the radiation mechanism of the γ-ray emission in FSRQs is likely to be inverse Compton scattering of seed photons from BLR or outflowing BLR.
