Scientific paper

GLAST will provide unique capabilities for studying AGN. By scanning the sky several times each day, it will provide a sensitive census of highly variable sources such as blazars, and will facilitate simultaneous observations at other wavelengths. The GLAST LAT detector has been designed to have a bandpass reaching to much higher energies than EGRET, allowing an overlap with ground-based atmospheric Cerenkov telescopes that will extend coverage into the TeV band. And the superior angular resolution of GLAST should lead to the discovery of many fainter, less variable sources with little or no relativistic beaming. I will discuss what we might expect to learn about the physics of AGN during the GLAST era, in light of these new capabilities.
