M.Persic, A.DeAngelis, F.Longo, M.Tavani
TL;DR
This paper reviews the emission characteristics of blazars, emphasizing their dominance in the extragalactic GeV-TeV sky and exploring the potential for joint detection by AGILE and MAGIC telescopes.
Contribution
It provides a combined analysis of AGILE and MAGIC observations to better understand blazar emission properties and their detectability.
Findings
Blazars dominate the extragalactic GeV-TeV sky.
Certain types of blazars are more likely to be jointly detected by AGILE and MAGIC.
The paper discusses the emission mechanisms of blazars.
Abstract
We describe the emission properties of blazars, i.e. the AGNs that, due to their peculiar orientation w.r.t. the observer, allow the most penetrating and direct view of their central engine. After showing that the extragalactic GeV-TeV sky is dominated by blazars of various types, we discuss the kind of blazars that are likely to be jointly detected by AGILE and MAGIC.
