First gamma-ray light curves and gamma-ray variability properties of blazars from the Fermi LAT high confidence source list are presented, joined with a LAT multifrequency campaign devoted to the new high-energy blazar PKS 1502+106 as example of multiwaveband variability study. This is the first systematic characterization of variability properties of a sample of gamma-ray emitting blazars. LAT light curves of the averaged and integrated flux above 300 MeV were collected during the first 11 months of all sky survey (period August 04, 2008 -July 04, 2009), while the simultaneous multifrequency campaign on the single blazar PKS 1502+106 was performed in the period August 04 -December 15, 2008.

Abstract
First gamma-ray light curves and gamma-ray variability properties of blazars from the Fermi LAT high confidence source list are presented, joined with a LAT multifrequency campaign devoted to the new high-energy blazar PKS 1502+106 as example of multiwaveband variability study. This is the first systematic characterization of variability properties of a sample of gamma-ray emitting blazars. LAT light curves of the averaged and integrated flux above 300 MeV were collected during the first 11 months of all sky survey (period August 04, 2008 -July 04, 2009), while the simultaneous multifrequency campaign on the single blazar PKS 1502+106 was performed in the period August 04 -December 15, 2008.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
