X-Ray and Gamma–Ray Emission in Blazars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Extract
More than 50 sources have been detected by EGRET in 4 years of operations (e.g. von Montigny et al. 1995). Almost all of them show the violent characteristics typical of blazars, such as superluminal motions, strong radio emission mainly produced in a flat spectrum core and large amplitude variability at all frequencies. Interestingly, optical polarization does not seem to be required, since more than 1/3 of the detected sources are less than 3% polarized.
