Correlation between Emission-line Luminosity and Gamma-Ray Dominance in the Blazar 3C 279

Despite numerous studies, the origin of the γ -ray emission from blazars is still debated, in particular whether it is produced by leptonic or hadronic processes. In this study, we are testing the leptonic scenario for the flat-spectrum radio quasar 3C 279, assuming that the γ -ray emission is gener...
