The importance of jet bending in gamma-ray AGN - revisited
Abstract
We investigate the hypothesis that γ-ray-quiet AGN have a larger tendency for jet bending than γ-ray-loud AGN, revisiting the analysis of Tingay, Murphy & Edwards (1998). We perform a statistical analysis using a large sample of 351 radio-loud AGN along with γ-ray identifications from the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). Our results show no statistically significant differences in jet-bending properties between γ-ray-loud and γ-ray-quiet populations, indicating that jet bending is not a significant factor for γ-ray detection in AGN.
