High Energy γ-ray variability of NGC 1275 and 3C 120
Abstract
The recent observations in the high energy γ-ray band show that the extragalactic γ-ray sky is dominated by the emission from blazars. However, γ-ray emission from other types of AGNs, e.g., radiogalaxies, also have been detected. These sources were not considered as favored GeV emitters because the nonthermal emission from their jets is less Doppler boosted. Now, the γ-ray emission from more than 25 non-blazar AGNs has been already detected which opened a new window to have an insight into the particle acceleration and emission processes in different components of AGNs. Here, I will present the γ-ray variability of two well-known radiogalaxies, NGC 1275 and 3C 120, which show a rapid flux increase in the γ-ray band.
