Revisiting the Blazar Main Sequence
Abstract
A discussion of the FSRQ -- BL Lac unification. All distinctive features marking these two Blazar subclasses find an unifying explanation if the sources are powered by central engines constituted by similar Kerr holes, but fueled at high and low accretion rates, respectively. The connection need not be a genetic one, but evidence toward some FSRQs switching into BL Lacs at lower z will be provided by moderately negative BL Lac evolution. Then an extrapolation will be warranted toward ultra-high energy particle accelerators operating at very low accretion rates.
