It is investigated that the correlations between the ratio of EGRET to Fermi blazars g-ray flux densities and the spectral index differ for EGRET to Fermi blazars for three subclasses of high-frequency peaked BL Lacertae objects-HBL, low-frequency peaked BL Lacertae objects-LBL, and flat spectrum radio quasars-FSRQs. There is a consistent relationship between the ratio of the two γ-ray flux densities and the spectral index difference for the three subclasses. It suggests that the spectrum changed with the source brightness in the gamma-ray band. Both the spectral index difference and the correlation slopes follow a continuous sequence from FSRQs to LBLs to HBLs, which is consistent with the noted blazar sequence.展开更多
