A Physical Model for the Revised Blazar Sequence
  The blazar sequence is reflected in a correlation of the peak luminosity
versus peak frequency of the synchrotron component of blazars. This correlation
has been considered one of the fundamental pieces of evidence for the existence
of a continuous sequence that includes low-power BL Lacertae objects through
high-power flat spectrum radio quasars. A correlation between the Compton domi-
nance, the ratio of the Compton to synchrotron luminosities, and the peak
synchrotron frequency is another piece of evidence for the existence of the
blazar sequence explored by Fossati et al. (1998). Since that time, however, it
has essentially been ignored. We explore this correlation with a sample based
on the second LAT AGN catalog (2LAC), and show that is is particularly
important, since it is independent of redshift. We reproduce the trends in our
sample with a simple model that in- cludes synchrotron and Compton cooling in
the slow- and fast-cooling regimes, and angle-dependent effects.
