Summary of Extragalactic News and Progress
نویسنده
چکیده
Approximately 90 contributions to the 5th Heidelberg Symposium on High-Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy (Gamma 2012), presented new results and ideas in the general field of extragalactic high-energy gamma-ray astronomy. The largest contingent of contributions in this field related to active galactic nuclei (AGN), including blazars, radio galaxies, and Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxies. Also, new results concerning starburst galaxies, as well as (so far) unsuccessful searches for γ-ray emission from other types of extragalactic sources have been reported. Finally, controversial discussions about studies of the γγ absorption imprint of the extragalactic background light on γ-ray emission from blazars, and potential implications for the intergalactic magnetic field have been discussed. This paper will provide a brief summary of the results and ideas on these topics, presented and discussed at Gamma 2012.

متن کاملEGRET Gamma-Ray Blazars: Luminosity Function and Contribution to the Extragalactic Gamma-Ray Background
We describe the properties of the blazars detected by EGRET and summarize the results on the calculations of the evolution and luminosity function of these sources. Of the large number of possible origins of extragalactic diffuse γ-ray emission, it has been postulated that active galaxies might be one of the most likely candidates. However, some of our recent analysis indicate that only 25% of ...
متن کاملThirty Years of Extragalactic H Ii Region Studies
I review a small part of the past thirty years of studies of extragalactic H II regions. Comparing a review of available results in 1975 to what we know today, we see a enormous increase in our knowledge of physical conditions and abundances in extragalactic H II regions, chemical evolution of galaxies, and the primordial helium fraction. Manuel Peimbert and Silvia Torres-Peimbert have made pio...
