SED of Fermi bright blazars

J/ApJ/700/597). By combining our accurately estimated Fermi {gamma}-ray spectra with Swift, radio, infra-red, optical, and other hard X-ray/{gamma}-ray data, collected within 3 months of the LBAS data taking period, we were able to assemble high-quality and quasi-simultaneous spectral energy distributions (SED) for 48 LBAS blazars.

We have used these SED to characterize the peak intensity of both the low- and the high-energy components. The results have been used to derive empirical relationships that estimate the position of the two peaks from the broadband colors (i.e., the radio to optical, {alpha}_ro_, and optical to X-ray, {alpha}_ox_, spectral slopes) and from the {gamma}-ray spectral index. While more than 50% of known radio bright high energy peaked (HBL) BL Lacs are detected in the LBAS sample, only less than 13% of known bright broad-lined flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and LBL BL Lacs are included.
