Description

The detection of Tera-electronvolt (TeV; 10$^{12}$ electronvolts) emission in extragalactic galaxies has sparked renewed interest in exploring the characteristics and underlying physics of the enigmatic emission component. To delve deeper into the nature of TeV-detected blazars and unravel the mechanisms driving their high-energy behavior, we compiled a comprehensive sample comprising 51 TeV sources equipped with the core-dominance parameters in the radio, X-ray, γ-ray and TeV emission, which are crucial indicators for the beaming effect, to embark on an analysis aimed at elucidating the underlying beamed component in TeV and other high-energy bands emanating from blazars. We investigate mutual correlations between core-dominance parameters and observed luminosities from radio to TeV emission, and successfully resolve the high-energy spectral index into beamed and unbeamed component, manifesting the beaming effect dominates the multiwavelength emissions in blazars. We also propose a new method to estimate the Doppler factors in the X-ray, γ-ray and TeV band, respectively, which are key parameters for beaming effect as well. Our salient conclusions are as follows:

  1. Our analysis confirms that low-energy peaked TeV blazars exhibit heightened beaming across various frequencies, validating the use of high-energy core-dominance parameters as reliable indicators of beaming effect, as evidenced by the beamed multiwavelength emissions.

  2. The predominance of the beamed or jet component in shaping the observed total spectral index in the high- energy band underscores the applicability of the two-component emission model to TeV blazars, which encapsulates both beamed and unbeamed contributions. Our finding points out the total observed emissions are mainly originated from the core or jet component.

  3. We estimate the Doppler factors at high-energy bands for both scenarios of continues and spherical jet launching in TeV blazars. For the case of continues jet, we obtain the median values are δ$_{X}$ = 14.17, δγ = 26.79 and δ$_{\rm TeV}$ = 12.73. On the other hand, δ$_{X}$ = 9.06, δγ = 19.62 and δ$_{\rm TeV}$ = 9.89 are ascertained for spherical blob, respectively. Our results suggest that the universality of beaming effect across diverse wavelength bands.
