摘要:About 47 very high energy (VHE; E > 100GeV) emitting active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are detected with the current generation of imaging atmospheric ˇCerenkov telescopes (IACTs) so far, the major part of which belonging to the blazar class. We interpret the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of these objects as simple stationary synchrotron self-Compton emission, and study the common properties of the sources derived from the SED modelling. We find a significant correlation between the luminosity in the X-ray range (2–10 keV) and the monochromatic luminosity at 1 TeV among the currently detected VHE AGNs. Applying this relationship to other sources using the BZCat catalogue of AGNs, we propose a list of about 70 new source candidates at VHE in the framework of future obseravtions with current IACTs, and especially with the future ˇCerenkov Telescope Array ( CTA).
