New Fermi/LAT extragalactic sources

DOI

We present the analysis of 2.1 years of Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) data on 491 Seyfert galaxies detected by the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) survey. Only the two nearest objects, NGC 1068 and NGC 4945, which were identified in the Fermi first year catalog (Abdo et al. 2010, Cat. J/ApJ/715/429), are detected. Using Swift/BAT and radio 20cm fluxes, we define a new radio-loudness parameter R_X,BAT_ where radio-loud objects have logR_X,BAT_> -4.7. Based on this parameter, only radio-loud sources are detected by Fermi/LAT. An upper limit to the flux of the undetected sources is derived to be ~2x10^-11^photons/cm^2^/s, approximately seven times lower than the observed flux of NGC 1068. Assuming a median redshift of 0.031, this implies an upper limit to the {gamma}-ray (1-100GeV) luminosity of <~3x10^41^erg/s. In addition, we identified 120 new Fermi/LAT sources near the Swift/BAT Seyfert galaxies with significant Fermi/LAT detections. A majority of these objects do not have Swift/BAT counterparts, but their possible optical counterparts include blazars, flat-spectrum radio quasars, and quasars.
