'I'm excited for new telescopes to probe even dimmer blazars in the future.'
Going forward, the team will attempt using this dataset to make predictions about the blazars that are still too dim for astronomers to detect directly.
"There are still a thousand Fermi unassociated sources for which we have found no X-ray counterpart, and it's a fairly safe assumption that many of those sources are also blazars that are just too dim in the X-rays for us to detect," Kerby said. This future study could allow the team to further test the blazar sequence, too. The new work could also show the strength of a blazar jet's magnetic field, and how fast the charged particles within it are moving, Kerby said.
"It's important to always work to expand our datasets to reach dimmer and dimmer sources, because it makes our theories more complete and less prone to failures from unexpected biases," the graduate student said."I'm excited for new telescopes to probe even dimmer blazars in the future." The team's research has been accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal and was published on the
