Properties of the radio jet emission of four gamma-ray Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies
The detection of gamma rays from a small number of Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies by the LAT instrument onboard Fermi seriously challenged our understanding of AGN physics. Among the most important findings associated with their discovery has been the realisation that smaller-mass black holes seem to be hosted by these systems. Immediately after their discovery a radio multi- frequency monitoring campaign was initiated to understand their jet radio emission. Here the first results of the campaign are presented. The light curves and some first variability analyses are discussed, showing that the brightness temperatures and Doppler factors are moderate. The phenomenologies are typically blazar-like. The frequency domain on the other hand indicates intense spectral evolution and the variability patterns indicate mechanisms similar to those acting in the jets of BL Lacs and FSRQs. Finally, the linear polarisation also reveals the presence of a quiescent, optically thin jet in certain cases.
