Query: Pair Plasma Dominance in the Parsec-Scale Relativistic Jet of 3C345   We investigate whether a pc-scale jet of 3C345 is dominated by a normal
plasma or an electron-positron plasma. We present a general condition that a
jet component becomes optically thick for synchrotron self-absorption, by
extending the method originally developed by Reynolds et al. The general
condition gives a lower limit of the electron number density, with the aid of
the surface brightness condition, which enables us to compute the magnetic
field density. Comparing the lower limit with another independent constraint
for the electron density that is deduced from the kinetic luminosity, we can
distinguish the matter content. We apply the procedure to the five components
of 3C345 (C2, C3, C4, C5, and C7) of which angular diameters and radio fluxes
at the peak frequencies were obtainable from literature. Evaluating the
representative values of Doppler beaming factors by their equipartition values,
we find that all the five components are likely dominated by an
electron-positron plasma. The conclusion does not depend on the lower cutoff
energy of the power-law distribution of radiating particles.
