Scientific paper

Recent blazar detections by H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS suggest that very-high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray production may be common to most radio-loud Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) if not all. We developed a Monte-Carlo code which treats the processes of gamma-gamma absorption and pair production, gamma-ray and electron/positron propagation, and Compton scattering and synchrotron emission in full 3-dimensional geometry. It is demonstrated that this scenario can explain the Fermi flux and spectrum of several Fermi-detected radio galaxies.
