cds-question@unistra.fractive-galactic-nucleigamma-ray-astronomyThe variability characteristics of jetted active galactic nuclei (AGNs) serve as a powerful diagnostic tool for probing the physical mechanisms underlying accretion processes and jet formation in supermassive black holes. We used the jetted AGNs detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope to study the origins of optical variability of jetted AGNs. Our main findings are that (1) jetted AGNs with efficient accretion exhibit significantly greater optical variability amplitudes than jetted AGNs with inefficient accretion. This result indicates that standard thin accretion disks produce stronger optical variability than advection-dominated accretion flows (ADAFs). (2) There is a significant positive correlation between optical variability amplitudes and radio luminosity, gamma-ray luminosity, X-ray luminosity, the synchrotron peak frequency luminosity, the inverse Compton peak frequency luminosity, and Compton dominance for jetted AGNs with inefficient accretion. In contrast, no significant correlation is found for jetted AGNs with efficient accretion. These results indicate that relativistic jets mainly drive the optical variability in jetted AGNs with inefficient accretion. (3) In the effective accretion mode, the variability amplitudes of jetted AGNs are inversely correlated with the accretion rate. In contrast, these amplitudes in the ineffective accretion mode are positively correlated with the accretion rate. These results suggest that in addition to relativistic jets, accretion rates also play a significant role in the optical variability of jetted AGNs with ineffective accretion. The trend of the correlation between optical amplitude and accretion rate depends on the mode of accretion.2026A&A...712A.191Chttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/712/A191CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toIX/72 : Fermi LAT Fourth Source Cat.
