摘要
High redshift blazars are among the most powerful non-explosive sources in the Universe and play a crucial role in understanding the evolution of relativistic jets. To understand these bright objects, we performed a detailed investigation of the multiwavelength properties of 79 gamma-ray blazars with redshifts ranging from z = 2.0 to 2.5, using data from Fermi LAT, Swift XRT/UVOT, and NuSTAR observations. In the gamma-ray band, the spectral analysis revealed a wide range of flux and photon indices, from 5.32 x 10(-10) to 3.40 x 10(-7) photon cm(-2) s(-1) and from 1.66 to 3.15, respectively, highlighting the diverse nature of these sources. The detailed temporal analysis showed that flaring activities were observed in 31 sources. Sources such as 4C+71.07, PKS 1329-049, and 4C + 01.02, demonstrated significant increase in the gamma-ray luminosity and flux variations, reaching peak luminosity exceeding 10(50) erg s(-1). The temporal analysis extended to X-ray and optical/ultraviolet (UV) bands, showed clear flux changes in some sources in different observations. The time-averaged properties of high redshift blazars were derived through modeling the spectral energy distributions with a one-zone leptonic scenario, assuming the emission region is within the broad-line region (BLR) and the X-ray and gamma-ray emissions are due to inverse Compton scattering of synchrotron and BLR-reflected photons. This modeling allowed us to constrain the emitting particle distribution, estimate the magnetic field inside the jet, and evaluate the jet luminosity, which is discussed in comparison with the disc luminosity derived from fitting the excess in the UV band.
