Leptonic Models: Summary • Black hole energization • Blazar sequence • Spectral breaks in FSRQs • New primary spectral component peaking at >> TeV energies • synchrotron/SSC makes double-humped spectrum with cascade radiation weak BIGMF Synchrotron/SSC models incomplete without the addition of the cascade component (or statement of minimum BIGMF) • Photopion-generated emission from UHECRs or extended jet emission is non- or weakly variable • Any other way for leptons to emit distinct TeV emission component? • Hadronic processes in TeV BL Lacs? (more likely if they are sources of UHECRs) Gamma-Ray Galaxies Workshop, Finland, April 11-15, 2011
Conclusions • Large range of primary source spectra match data • Minimalist model implies BIGMF >~ 10-18 G • All require an emission component with nFn peak >~ 5 TeV • Question: Origin of this spectral component? • Leptonic or hadronic (UHECR?) • Spectral shoulder at 1 TeV implies hard primary emission • Halo emission likely for large opening angle, persistent TeV jet sources Gamma-Ray Galaxies Workshop, Finland, April 11-15, 2011

CTA Beamed and Unbeamed Gamma-Rays from Galaxies somewhere above the Arctic circle, Lapland, Finland April 12, 2011 Leptonic Blazar Model Overview Beginning with the simplest relativistic jet synchrotron/SSC model and its application to analysis of the SEDs of radio-loud AGN, I consider complications of internal photon opacity, gamma-ray absorption and reprocessing in the EBL, and more complicated shell geometries. Questions about the rapid variability in PKS 2155-304 and Mrk 501 are addressed in terms of unification scenarios between BL Lacs and FR1 radio galaxies. The addition of external soft photons forms the external Compton gamma-ray component thought to account for the gamma-ray luminous FSRQs. I conclude with questions of the location of the gamma-ray emission site and the validity of and explanations for the blazar sequence.
