Fig. 1: Histogram of FSRQ seed factors.
From: Powerful extragalactic jets dissipate their kinetic energy far from the central black hole
A histogram showing the distribution of seed factors for our sample of FSRQs. The histogram is plotted in black. The expected broad-line region seed factor and 1σ confidence interval are shown in blue, with solid and dashed lines, respectively, on the left. The expected molecular torus values are plotted similarly, on the right, in orange. See Sections 1.2 and 1.3 of the Supplementary Information for information on calculation of the plotted confidence intervals. The histogram was binned using the auto option for the binning in matplotlib.pyplot.hist. The histogram peaks at about the expected seed factor value of the molecular torus.
