The GLAST LAT instrument will monitor the GeV gamma-ray sky with uniform exposure and high sensitivity. It will obtain a snapshot of the entire sky in a few hours and thus will allow us to observe, simultaneously, the emission of many blazars, having different level of activity (flaring, intermediate and steady states), with good timing and spectral resolution. Because of the broad-band emission of blazars (from radio to TeV), LAT data should be combined with those obtained at all other wavelengths in order to derive most of the parameters which characterize the physical conditions of a source. Here, we present the multiwavelength campaigns planned by the LAT Science Group on Blazars and Other AGNs for 2008.

Abstract
The GLAST LAT instrument will monitor the GeV gamma-ray sky with uniform exposure and high sensitivity. It will obtain a snapshot of the entire sky in a few hours and thus will allow us to observe, simultaneously, the emission of many blazars, having different level of activity (flaring, intermediate and steady states), with good timing and spectral resolution. Because of the broad-band emission of blazars (from radio to TeV), LAT data should be combined with those obtained at all other wavelengths in order to derive most of the parameters which characterize the physical conditions of a source. Here, we present the multiwavelength campaigns planned by the LAT Science Group on Blazars and Other AGNs for 2008.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
