Blazars: the next gamma-ray view of GLAST

S. Ciprini

Open full text 1 citations

Abstract

Blazars, the extreme family of AGN, can be strong gamma-ray emitters and constitute the largest fraction of identified point sources of EGRET. The next Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) is a high energy (30MeV-300GeV) gamma-ray astronomy mission, planned for launch at the end of 2006. GLAST performances will allow to detect few thousands of gamma-ray blazars, with a broad band coverage and temporal resolution, also in quiescent emission phases, providing probably many answers about these sources.
