Scientific paper

The observational field of extragalactic γ-ray astronomy has dramatically evolved in the past years, with the new generation of Atmospheric Čerenkov Telescopes (ACTs) such as H.E.S.S. and MAGIC coming online, and probing the radiative properties of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with improved levels of sensitivity and spectral resolution. Light curves now show evidence for minute time-scale variability in the very high energy (VHE, E>100 GeV) γ-ray regime, and quality spectra of objects up to z≃ 0.2 are measured, allowing unprecedented constraints to the intrinsic behaviour of these objects, or to the Extragalactic Background Light (EBL) they propagate through.
