Our results show significant detections of PKS 1622-297 (5.9σ) in the 10-30 MeV band during its γ ray flare in 1995, and of 3C 454.3(5.6σ) in the sum of 8 years observations in the 3-10 MeV band. By comparing the MeV results to the ones obtained in neighboring bands by the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) experiments EGRET and OSSE, we reveal some properties of these 3 blazars at γ ray energies.展开更多
By detecting more than 100 AGN at γ ray energies, the experiments aboard CGRO finally opened the field of extragalactic γ ray astronomy. A general picture has developed which is briefly summarized.
