## TL;DR

This paper evaluates how the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) can enhance the detection and study of misaligned AGN (MAGN), a unique class of high-energy radio-loud galaxies observed by Fermi, offering new insights into high-energy astrophysical processes.

## Contribution

It assesses the potential of CTA to detect MAGNs and suggests observational strategies to optimize their observation, advancing high-energy astrophysics research.

## Key findings

- CTA can significantly increase MAGN detections
- Proposed strategies improve observational efficiency
- Enhanced understanding of high-energy processes in MAGNs

## Abstract

Misaligned AGN (MAGNs), i.e., radio-loud AGNs with the jet not pointing directly towards us, represent a new class of GeV emitters revealed by the Fermi space telescope. Although they comprise only a small fraction of the high-energy sources, MAGNs are extremely interesting objects offering a different perspective to study high-energy processes with respect to blazars. The aim of this work is to evaluate the impact of the new-generation Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) on the MAGN class and propose possible observational strategies to optimize their detection.
