摘要:We report on the main results about g -ray blazars achieved by AGILE during the first 3 years spent in orbit. AGILE detected several flaring blazars, covering the entire sequence from FSRQ to HBL objects and, thanks to the rapid dissemination of our alerts, we have been able to collect multiwavelength data from radio to TeV energy bands thanks to the sinergy with other observatories such as GASP-WEBT, REM, Spitzer, Swift, RXTE, XMM-Newton, Suzaku, INTEGRAL, MAGIC, VERITAS. This set of simultaneous data allowed us to study the multi-l variability and to build up the spectral energy distribution of these blazars from radio to g -ray energy bands. The most relevant properties of our sample of blazars will be presented with a particular emphasis on the spectral thermal components, time lags, spectral trends (in X-rays and g -rays), jet geometry and acceleration mechanism at the inner portion of the jet itself.
