摘要：
Based upon Fermi 1FGL and EGRET 3EG samples, a sample including 79 blazars (53 FSRQs, 26 BL Lacs) is presented. It is investigated that the correlations between the ratio of EGRET to Fermi blazars gamma-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 gamma-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.
