Scientific paper

A key result in AGN research over the past two decades has been the detection of γ-ray emission by EGRET. A number of models are proposed to explain this emission. The GLAST satellite will dramatically improve the quality and quantity of γ-ray data on AGN but the best use of this data to test models will be possible only in conjunction with data across the electromagnetic spectrum. In particular, parsec scale radio information provided by VLBI observations of AGN jets are needed to address some of the most crucial questions raised by EGRET. The TANAMI project and supporting programs are monitoring southern hemisphere AGN (most of which cannot be observed by northern hemisphere telescopes) at a range of resolutions. Results will be made available promptly through a website and quick publications and the community is invited to influence the source list and other aspects of the program including rapid follow-up of targets of opportunity.
