Abstract: |
Radio and gamma-ray emission from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) are thought to
share a common origin, related to the ejection phenomena in the vicinity of
super massive black holes in the form of relativistic jets. Indeed, the vast
majority of the high galactic latitude, non-pulsar sources discovered by the
Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope are
associated with radio sources, in agreement with the previous findings of the
Third EGRET catalog. Capitalizing on the flux and spectral index data provided
by the LAT and on the associations found in CRATES, BZCat, and the literature,
we report on the radio properties of the LAT-detected AGNs, and their possible
connection to the gamma-ray data. |
