On the diversity of the jet production efficiency in Swift/BAT AGNs

Understand

We address the very large diversity of the jet production efficiency in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) by using data on low redshift AGNs selected from the Swift/BAT catalog and having black hole (BH) masses larger than $10^{8.5}\,M_{\odot}$.

• Most of these AGNs accrete at intermediate rates and have bolometric luminosities dominated by mid-IR radiation.
• Our sample contains $14\%$ radio-loud (RL), $6\%$ radio-intermediate (RI), and $80\%$ radio-quiet (RQ) AGNs.
• All RL objects are found to have extended radio structures and most of them have classical FR II morphology.
