cds-question@unistra.fractive-galactic-nucleiradio-sourcesredshiftedgalaxy-classification-systemsWe address the very large diversity of 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_{sun}_. 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, 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. Converting their radio loudness to jet production efficiency, we find that the median of this efficiency is on the order of ({epsilon}_d_/0.1)%, where {epsilon}_d_=L_bol_/(dM/dt)c^2^ is the radiation efficiency of the accretion disk. Without knowing the contribution of jets to the radio emission in RQ AGNs, we are only able to estimate their efficiencies using upper limits. Their median is found to be 0.002({epsilon}_d_/0.1)%. Our results suggest that some threshold conditions must be satisfied to allow the production of strong, relativistic jets in RL AGNs. We discuss several possible scenarios and argue that the production of collimated, relativistic jets must involve the Blandford-Znajek mechanism and can be activated only in those AGNs whose lifetime is longer than the time required to enter the magnetically arrested disk (MAD). Presuming that MAD is required to collimate relativistic jets, we expect that the weak nonrelativistic jets observed in some RQ AGNs are produced by accretion disks rather than by rotating BHs.2020ApJ...900..125Rhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/900/125CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toB/hst : HST Archived Exposures Catalog (STScI, 2007)B/eso : ESO Science Archive Catalog (ESO, 1991-2022)VIII/65 : 1.4GHz NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) (Condon+ 1998)VIII/81 : Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey (SUMSS V2.1) (Mauch+ 2008)VIII/92 : The FIRST Survey Catalog, Version 2014Dec17 (Helfand+ 2015)II/349 : The Pan-STARRS release 1 (PS1) Survey - DR1 (Chambers+, 2016)J/A+AS/132/31 : Kinematical models for double radio sources (Nilsson 1998)J/ApJS/164/307 : NICMOS observations of 3CR radio sources (Madrid+, 2006)J/ApJ/658/815 : Radio loudness of active galactic nuclei (Sikora+, 2007)J/AJ/137/42 : Matched SDSS and FIRST Sample (Rafter+, 2009)J/MNRAS/415/1013 : FR II radio galaxies in SDSS (Koziel-Wierzbowska+, 2011)J/ApJ/765/62 : SDSS-DR7 opt. spectra analysis of radio gal.
