The nature of the diffuse gamma-ray background

M Fornasa, MA Sánchez-Conde - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
We review the current understanding of the Diffuse Gamma-Ray Background (DGRB). The
DGRB is what remains of the total measured gamma-ray emission after the subtraction of the …

An optical view of BL Lacertae objects

R Falomo, E Pian, A Treves - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2014 - Springer
BL Lac objects are active nuclei, hosted in massive elliptical galaxies, the emission of which
is dominated by a relativistic jet closely aligned with the line of sight. This implies the …
