The "I-ray properties of radio-selected extragalactic jets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most extragalactic jets in radio-loud Active Galactic Nuclei are bright and variable ,-ray sources, which are continuously monitored with Fermi/LAT. We present the i-ray properties of the MOJAVE and TANAMI AGN samples of radio-loud AGN. Both programs provide properties of the parsec-scale radio jets using Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) techniques. This information is important to understand the broad-band emission mechanism of these sources. In this work we compare the radio and i-ray properties of the two samples and present upper limits on the i-ray flux of the radio-brightest jet sources not yet detected by Fermi/LAT.

Observational Properties of Jets in Active Galactic Nuclei
Jets are present in many galactic and extragalactic objects and may have different origin and properties. I will focus here to extragalactic radio jets from the parsec (pc) to the kiloparsec (kpc) scale. These jets are among the largest coherent fluid flow patterns in the universe. They can have very different working surface (from pc to Mpc), and they can grow of a factor ∼ 106. Moreover the s...
متن کاملIdentification of the Early Fermi Lat Gamma-ray Bright Objects with Extragalactic Vlbi Sources
A list of 205 γ-ray strong objects was reported recently as a result of a 3-month integration with the Large Area Telescope on board the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. We attempted identification of these objects, cross-correlating the γ-ray positions with VLBI positions of a large all-sky sample of extragalactic radio sources selected on the basis of their parsec-scale flux density. The orig...
متن کاملDirect and reprocessed γ-ray emission of kpc-scale jets in FR I radio galaxies
We discuss the contribution of kiloparsec-scale jets in FR I radio galaxies to the diffuse γ-ray background radiation. The analyzed γ-ray emission comes from inverse-Compton scattering of starlight photon fields by the ultrarelativistic electrons whose synchrotron radiation is detected from such sources at radio, optical and X-ray energies. We find that these objects, under the minimum-power hy...
