The detection by Fermi-LAT of gamma-ray emission from radio-loud Narrow-Line Seyfert 1s (NLS1s) indicates that relativistic jets do not form only in blazars and radio galaxies, but also in other AGN populations. Despite a spectral energy…
Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) are active galactic nuclei (AGN) recently identified as a new class of $\gamma$-ray sources. The high energy emission is explained by the presence of a relativistic jet observed at small angles, just…

Non-blazar Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) have emerged as a new gamma-ray emitting source class on the extragalactic sky and started to deepen our understanding of the physical processes and the nature of AGN in general. The detection of…
The recent detection of gamma-ray emission from four radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies suggests that the engine driving the AGN activity of these objects share some similarities with that of blazars, namely the presence of a…

Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) is one of the few classes of active galactic nuclei (AGN) harboring powerful relativistic jets and detected in $\gamma$ rays. NLS1s are well-known X-ray sources. While in non-jetted sources the origin…
The detection of gamma rays from a small number of Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies by the LAT instrument onboard Fermi seriously challenged our understanding of AGN physics. Among the most important findings associated with their discovery…
