Prospects for gamma-ray observations of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Original language description
Gamma-ray-emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 (gamma-NLS1) galaxies are thought to harbour relatively low-mass black holes (10(6)-10(8)M(circle dot)) accreting close to the Eddington limit. They show characteristics similar to those of blazars, such as flux and spectral variability in the gamma-ray energy band and radio properties which point towards the presence of a relativistic jet. These characteristics make them an intriguing class of sources to be investigated with the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), the next-generation ground-based gamma-ray observatory. We present our extensive set of simulations of all currently known gamma-ray emitters identified as NLS1s (20 sources), investigating their detections and spectral properties, taking into account the effect of both the extragalactic background light in the propagation of gamma-rays and intrinsic absorption components. We find that the prospects for observations of gamma-NLS1 with CTA are promising.
