Characterization of the best-fit baryonic loading, neutrino efficiency and predicted neutrino fluxes. Upper panels: distribution of the best- fit baryonic loading (left) and neutrino production efficiency (right) as a function of the source’s gamma-ray luminosity between 100 MeV and 100 GeV. For comparison, in the left-hand-side plots we show the behavior predicted by the magnetically loaded jet model by Petropoulou et al. (2022) and the phenomenological study by Palladino et al. (2019). Lower panels: predicted muon neutrino luminosity for each source as a function of the Fermi LAT luminosity (left) and of the predicted MeV gamma-ray luminosity (right). The color code follows the previous pictures in that FSRQs are shown in green and BL Lacs in purple. The cases where a purely leptonic model lies within 1a of the best-fit result are shown as inverted triangles. The points therefore represent sources for which the data favors leptohadronic model. The solid black lines show the best-fit power law relations. For reference, we show four recent IceCube candidate sources. Of these, only TXS 0506+056 is not contained in this sample, for which we adopt the values from previous studies. For the three other blazars marked, the values of neutrino and MeV gamma-ray luminosity are those predicted by this work.
