Astrofisica Gamma dallo Spazio AGILE e GLAST Blazars and the AGN paradigm AGN : Two main categories • Dominated by accretion - disk emission - AP-AGN • Dominated by Non-Thermal radiation - jet emission - NT-AGN Blazars: NT-AGN viewed at a small angle w.r.t. jet axis Radio Galaxies: NT-AGN viewed at a large angle w.r.t. jet axis Broad-line radio galaxies (e.g. 3c120) : A combination of AP-AGN and “mis-directed” NT-AGN

Astrofisica Gamma dallo Spazio AGILE e GLAST Blazars @ -wave frequenciesthe 3-year WMAP data Bright foreground source catalog WMAP CMB fluctuation map 323 bright sources • 194 FSRQs • 38 BL Lacs • 30 Radio galaxies • 15 Steep sp. QSO • 2 starburst galaxies • 2 planetary nebule • 41 unidentified The large majority of bright WMAP foreground sources are blazars or radio galaxies Planck will be in a vey similar situation to that of GLAST - LAT (thousands of deteced blazars + contribution to unresolved flux).
