Theoretical models show that the power of relativistic jets of active galactic nuclei depends on the spin and mass of the central supermassive black holes, as well as the accretion. Here we report an analysis of archival observations of a sample of blazars. We find a significant correlation between jet kinetic power and the spin of supermassive black holes. At the same time, we use multiple linear regression to analyze the relationship between jet kinetic power and accretion, spin and black hole mass. We find that the spin of supermassive black holes and accretion are the most important contribution to the jet kinetic power. The contribution rates of both the spin of supermassive black holes and accretion are more than 95\%. These results suggest that the spin energy of supermassive black holes powers the relativistic jets. The jet production efficiency of almost all Fermi blazars can be explained by moderately thin magnetically arrested accretion disks around rapidly spinning black holes.

  1. Multi-wavelength analysis of FSRQ B2 1348+30B: Constraints on the jet power

    astro-ph.HE 2025-06 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    A 14.5-year multiwavelength analysis of the blazar B2 1348+30B yields jet power limits of about 2.6e46 to 4.2e48 erg/s, with the heavy-jet estimate far exceeding Eddington luminosity.
