23 Poynting flux dominated?

Leptonic models can explain well the broad band SED inside BLR (0.03 pc < 10 3 r g for 5x10 8 M solar )! the emission model results suggest kinetic energy dominated jets (some models with equipartition see e.g., Dermer+14, ApJ, 782 for 3C 279)! Hadronic models require stronger magnetic fields ( G) than the Leptonic models ( G), but also requires very high power of relativistic protons, erg/s (e.g.,zdziarski & Boettcher 15)! 23 April 2015 Masaaki Hayashida (ICRR) in Jets 2015 Krakow 23
