A Search for Blazar-Like Radio-Loud Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies
We report the results of an observational program to investigate the gamma-ray and optical variability properties of the vRL NLSY1 galaxies listed in the Yuan et al. sample. We have identified 17 members of the Yuan et al. sample possibly associated with gamma-ray sources based on a combination of t...
