The AGILE Contribution To AGNs Studies

The AGILE $\gamma$-ray telescope (Tavani et al. 1998) will have a relatively uniform sensitivity over a very wide field of view. This allows to simultaneously monitor several AGN's and to react quickly with multiwavelength observations in the case of flaring activity. The large cumulative sky coverage will also lead to a significant increase in the number of $\gamma$-ray emitting AGN's known at the end of the mission.
