Gamma-ray variability and correlation properties of blazars observed with Fermi LAT

The Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi LAT) provides long term systematic monitoring observations of the gamma-ray emission from blazars. The variability properties and the correlation with other wavelength bands are important clues for the evaluation of blazar models. We present results from timing...

Description
Summary:The Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi LAT) provides long term systematic monitoring observations of the gamma-ray emission from blazars. The variability properties and the correlation with other wavelength bands are important clues for the evaluation of blazar models. We present results from timing and multiwavelength correlation analysis and discuss differences between blazar classes. : 8 pages, 11 figures, to appear in the proceedings of "Beamed and Unbeamed Gamma Rays from Galaxies," held in Muonio, Finland, 11-15 April, 2011, ed.
