We study the correlations of the flux of the broad-line emission ($F_{BLR}$) with the X-ray emission flux, optical emission flux at 5500 AA and radio emission flux at 5 GHz, respectively, for a large sample of 50 Blazars (39 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and 11 BL Lac objects). Our main results are as follows. There are very strong correlations between $F_{BLR}$ and $F_{X}$ and between $L_{BLR}$ and $L_{X}$ in both states for 39 FSRQs and the slopes of the linear regression equations are almost equal to 1. There are weak correlations between $F_{BLR}$ and $F_{X}$ and between $L_{BLR}$ and $L_{X}$ for 11 BL Lac objects in both states, and the slopes of the linear regression equations are close to 1. There are significant correlations between $F_{BLR}$ and $F_{X}$ and between $L_{BLR}$ and $L_{X}$ for 50 blazars in both states, the slopes of both the linear regression equations are also close to 1. These results support a close link between relativistic jets and accretion on to the central Kerr black hole. On the other hand, we find that BL Lac objects have low accretion efficiency $eta$, whereas FSRQs have high accretion efficiency $eta$. The unified model of FSRQs and BL Lac objects is also discussed.

We report the first systematic search for blazars among broad-absorption-line (BAL) quasars. This is based on our intranight optical monitoring of a well-defined sample of 10 candidates selected on the criteria of a flat spectrum and an abnormally hi
gh linear polarization at radio wavelengths. A small population of BAL blazars can be expected in the polar model of BAL quasars. However, no such case is found, since none of our 30 monitoring sessions devoted to the 10 candidates yielded a positive detection of intra-night optical variability (INOV), which is uncharacteristic of blazars. This lack of INOV detection contrasts with the high duty cycle of INOV observed for a comparison sample of 15 normal (i.e., non-BAL) blazars. Some possible implications of this are pointed out.
Gamma-ray binaries (GBs) have been object of intense studies in the last decade. From an observational perspective, GBs are phenomenologically similar to most X-ray binary systems in terms of their broad-band emission across the entire electromagneti
c spectrum, being segregated from this source population by showing a maximum of their spectral energy distribution in the gamma-ray band, either at high-energies (HE: 100 MeV - 100 GeV) or very-high energies (VHE: above 100 GeV). From a theoretical perspective, the broad-band emission from GBs is a unique case in which particle acceleration and emission/absorption mechanisms can be tested against periodically changing conditions of their immediate surroundings. In this proceedings we examine some of the key observational results of the multi-wavelength emission from GBs. We discuss the correlated/contemporaneous emission observed in several of these systems, from radio to gamma-rays, by considering a single underlying particle-emitting population and the properties of the nearby photon, matter and magnetic ambient fields.
PKS 0537-441, a bright gamma-ray emitting blazar, was observed at radio, optical, UV and X-ray frequencies during various EGRET pointings, often quasi-simultaneously. In 1995 the object was found in an intense emission state at all wavelengths. Beppo
SAX observations made in 1998, non-simultaneously with exposures at other frequencies, allow us to characterize precisely the spectral shape of the high energy blazar component, which we attribute to inverse Compton scattering. The optical-to-gamma-ray spectral energy distributions at the different epochs show that the gamma-ray luminosity dominates the bolometric output. This, together with the presence of optical and UV line emission, suggests that, besides the synchrotron self-Compton mechanism, the Compton upscattering of photons external to the jet (e.g., in the broad line region) may have a significant role for high energy radiation. The multiwavelength variability can be reproduced by changes of the plasma bulk Lorentz factor. The spectrum secured by IUE in 1995 appears to be partially absorbed shortward of ~1700 A. However, this signature is not detected in the HST spectrum taken during a lower state of the source. The presence of intervening absorbers is not supported by optical imaging and spectroscopy of the field.
Apart from viewing-dependent obscuration, intrinsic broad-line emission from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) follows an evolutionary sequence: Type $1 to 1.2/1.5 to 1.8/1.9 to 2$ as the accretion rate onto the central black hole is decreasing. This spe
ctral evolution is controlled, at least in part, by the parameter $L_{rm bol}/M^{2/3}$, where $L_{rm bol}$ is the AGN bolometric luminosity and $M$ is the black hole mass. Both this dependence and the double-peaked profiles that emerge along the sequence arise naturally in the disk-wind scenario for the AGN broad-line region.
The broad-line radio galaxy 3C111 has been suggested as the counterpart of the gamma-ray source 3EGJ0416+3650. While 3C111 meets most of the criteria for a high-probability identification, like a bright flat-spectrum radio core and a blazar-like broa
dband SED, in the Third EGRET Catalog, the large positional offset of about 1.5 degrees put 3C111 outside the 99% probability region for 3EGJ0416+3650, making this association questionable. We present a re-analysis of all available data for 3C111 from the EGRET archives, resulting in probable detection of high-energy gamma-ray emission above 1000MeV from a position close to the nominal position of 3C111, in two separate viewing periods (VPs), at a 3-sigma level in each. A new source, GROJ0426+3747, appears to be present nearby. For >100MeV, one source seems to account for most of the EGRET-detected emission of 3EGJ0416+3650. A follow-up Swift UVOT/XRT observation reveals one moderately bright X-ray source in the error box of 3EGJ0416+3650, but because of the large EGRET position uncertainty, it is not certain that the X-ray and gamma-ray sources are associated. Another Swift observation, of GROJ0426+3747, detected no X-ray source nearby.
