TL;DR
This paper reviews the general properties of various populations of active galactic nuclei detected by Fermi/LAT, focusing on classifications based on emission lines and synchrotron peak positions, using data from the 2LAC catalog.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of the properties of Fermi/LAT detected AGN populations, highlighting differences based on emission line strength and synchrotron peak location.
Findings
Distinct properties of FSRQs and BL Lacs identified
Correlation between emission line strength and gamma-ray emission
Differences in synchrotron peak positions among sources
Abstract
The Second Catalog of Blazars and other Active Galactic Nuclei detected by the Fermi/LAT (2LAC) includes about 1100 sources, 886 of which comprise the Clean Sample. The general properties of the different populations of sources classified according to the strength of their emission lines (FSRQs, BL Lacs) or the estimated position of the synchrotron peak are reviewed.
