Gamma-Ray Emissions of AGN and Cosmological Standard Candles

  • In this work,we compile a sample which contains 71 Gev Gamma-ray-loud Active Galactic Nuclei(AGNs)(14 BL Lacs and 57 FSRQs),53 FR Ⅰ radio galaxies and 63 FR Ⅱ radio galaxies.We make a nonlinear least-square fit to this sample,and find that the best fit value of the Hubble constant is H0=71.5±3.8km s-1 Mpc-1 with a reduced χ2≈2.46 by assuming Mv=-23.0 and accepting q0=1.0,and the corresponding regression line has a correlation index R≈0.78.The best fit value of H0=71.5±3.8 km s-1 Mpc-1 is in well agreement with H0=72±8 km s-1 obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope Key Project.Our results show that the Gev Gamma-ray emissions of AGNs can be used as cosmological standard candles indeed.
