description

We are constructing the broadband SED catalog of the MOJAVE sample from the radio to the gamma-ray band using MOJAVE, Swift UVOT/XRT/BAT, and Fermi/LAT data, in order to understand the emission mechanism of extragalactic outflows and to investigate the site of high-energy emission in AGN. Since the launch of Fermi gamma-ray Space Telescope in August 2008, two thirds of the MOJAVE sources have been detected by Fermi/LAT. Combining the results of high-resolution VLBI, X-ray, and gamma-ray observations of the jet-dominated AGN sample, we want to pin down the origin of high-energy emission in relativistic jets. Here we present our overall project and preliminary results for 6 selected sources.
