Fermi-LAT Gamma-Ray Variability Study of Misaligned AGN

Fermi-LAT Gamma-Ray Variability Study of Misaligned AGN

We review the gamma-ray variability properties of AGN with a jet not directly pointing at the observer, i.e. Misaligned AGN. This class is mainly populated by nearby low power radio galaxies (i.e. FRIs). The high power radio sources (i.e. FRIIs) are indeed rare in the GeV sky. Our Fermi-LAT inspecti...
