Broad line region~ 10 3 R g Infrared dust radiation~ 10 5 R g CMB 10 8 R g Where the GeV radiation comes from? Looks like from ~ 10 3 RG ~ sqrt(R/Rc) The jet launch is from the BH (Blandford-Znajek) Disk launch implies >10 4 RG
34
Emission mechanism is still unknown 1.Fermi acceleration in the jet due to internal perturbation (internal shocks, turbulence) + external Compton + some synchrotron Don’t speak about synchrotron – self Compton!!! 1.Photon breeding Stern & Poutanen 2006 – 2008 High energy photons produce a viscous friction between the jet and the external environment (works at > 20 and a “strong” external environment) The jet is decelerated down to G ~ 15 independently of initial G
35
FSRQs (broad emission lines, softer spectra, softer low energy hump, very powerful) Versus BL Lacs (no broad emission lines, harder spectra, harder low energy hump, less powerful)
36
BL Lacs z ~ 0.05 – 0.4

Conclusions: 1.Gamma-ray astronomy becomes a precise science due to Fermi. 2.The uncertainties in calibration much exceed statistical errors 3.The main task for Cherenkov telescopes is the cross- calibration with Fermi and coordinated observations (IMHO) 4.The gap between X-rays and 100 Mev should be covered by any means 5.Open data are of crucial importance
