Description

I review the characteristics of GeV-TeV emitting AGN after two years of observations with Fermi. Our view of these objects has advanced significantly since the launch of Fermi and the advent of the sensitive ground-based gamma-ray instruments, such as HESS, VERITAS and MAGIC. With these instruments we detect a large population of GeV-TeV AGN with different sub-classes and can, for the first time, measure the gamma-ray emission across 5 decades of energy. However, despite this great dataset, there remain many fundamental questions about these mysterious objects that have still to be addressed.
