  1. Flat Radio Sources

  2. Almost every galaxy hosts a BH 99% are silent 1% are active 0.1% have jets

  3. No lobes Radio lobes Broad emission lines No or weak lines emission lines Weak FRI radio-galaxy Powerful FRII radio-galaxy

  4. Radio-galaxies & Blazars FR II poweful radio galaxy, with lobes FSRQs= Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars, with broad lines BL Lacs= less powerful, no broad lines FR I: weak radio galaxy, no lobes 102-103 Rs

  5. Radio VLBI Optical HST Superluminal motion

  6. Blazars: phenomenology

  7. Blazars: Spectral Energy Distribution Radio IR Opt UV X MeV GeV Inverse Compton (also possible hadronic models) Synchro

  9. EGRET: ~100 blazars Cherenkov: ~40 blazars (a few Radiogal) Gamma-ray blazars Fermi The Universe becomes opaque at z~0.1 at 1TeV at z~2 at 20 GeV HESS+ MAGIC

  10. 9 years of EGRET (0.1-10 GeV) Fermi first light, 96 hrs of integration After 11 months: ~700 (blazars, FSRQsand BL Lacs in equal number) A few radiogalaxies 4 NLSy1 Starburst galaxies

  27. Importance of g-rays If blob too close to disk, or too compact, AND if emits g-rays, then many pairs If blob too large (too distant) tvar too long Then: Rdiss ~ 1000 RS Energy transport in inner jet must be dissipationless

  42. By modeling, we find physical parameters in the comoving frame. gpeak is the energy of electrons emitting at the peak of the SED EGRET blazars Ghisellini et al. 1998

  43. Low power slow cooling large gpeak Big power fast cooling small gpeak

  44. g-ray emission from non-blazar AGNs Only one non–blazar AGNs is known at VHE band: the radiogalaxy M87
