EGRET AGN

The AGN detected by EGRET that are visible in the Northern Hemisphere are given in Table 3 below in order of detected flux. The first 3 years of operation of the full VERITAS array will allow us to survey the top 20 of these GeV AGN at the highest sensitivity. Subsequent years will allow us to survey the group as a whole with additional direction from the GLAST observatory. At a minimum we anticipate detection of some 17 of these GeV AGN.
