Description
Variability at all wavelengths, from radio to gamma-ray energies, and at timescales from minutes to years, is one of the key signatures of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). These astrophysical sources release a large amount of their energy at gamma rays, in turn making the high-energy band (>100MeV) a fascinating and crucial domain to study. I will discuss some recent results in the field which have been enabled by the Large Area Telescope on the Fermi satellite. Moreover, I will show progresses in several other astrophysical grounds which directly benefit from the better description of the AGN population and the insights gained on AGN physics.
