High Energy Gamma Rays from Centaurus a
Abstract
We summarize recent results based on an analysis of Fermi-LAT data for the lobes of the nearby radio galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A). The high-energy gamma-ray emission extends up to 6 GeV, with a significance of more than 10 and 20 σ for the north and the south lobe, respectively. We provide a short discussion of the lobe's spectral energy distribution (SED) in the context of hadronic and time-dependent leptonic scenarios.
