Powerful relativistic jets in narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies

Abstract

The recent detection of high-energy gamma rays from Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies has confirmed that also this type of active galactic nuclei can generate powerful relativistic jets. I outline the evolution of the knowledge in this research field and the implications on the unification of relativistic jets at all scales.
