Variability Models of Gamma-Ray Blazars
arXiv:astro-ph/9809342
Abstract
A large fraction of the AGNs detected by EGRET exhibit strong variability in many wavebands- from radio to the highest energy gamma-rays observed. The origin of the transient emission in blazars is presumably associated with relativistic jets. In this talk plausible variability mechanisms that may operate in blazars are discussed.
