TL;DR
This paper reviews gamma-ray emissions from blazars, focusing on their emission properties, the blazar sequence, and models explaining high-energy emissions in BL Lac objects, highlighting their dominance in extragalactic gamma-ray observations.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of blazar gamma-ray emission characteristics and discusses interpretative models, emphasizing the blazar sequence and high-energy emission mechanisms.
Findings
Blazars dominate extragalactic gamma-ray sky above 100 MeV.
The blazar sequence links luminosity with spectral properties.
Models of high-energy emission in BL Lac objects are discussed.
Abstract
Blazars, radio-loud active galactic nuclei with the relativistic jet closely aligned with the line of sight, dominate the extragalactic sky observed at gamma-ray energies, above 100 MeV. We discuss some of the emission properties of these sources, focusing in particular on the "blazar sequence" and the interpretative models of the high-energy emission of BL Lac objects.
