INTEGRAL observation of 3 EG J 1736 − 2908 ⋆

The possible identification by INTEGRAL of the EGRET source 3EG J1736 − 2908 with the active galactic nucleus GRS 1734−292 is discussed. The latter was discovered in 1990 and later identified with a Seyfert 1 galaxy. At the time of the compilation of the 3rd EGRET Catalog, it was not considered as a possible counterpart of the source 3EG J1736 − 2908, which remained unidentified. A detailed multiwavelength study of the EGRET error circle is presented, by including archival radio, softand hard-X observations, suggesting that GRS1734−292 could be a likely counterpart of 3EG J1736 − 2908, even though this poses very interesting questions about the production mechanisms of γ–rays with energies greater than 100 MeV.
