γ-ray emission in radio galaxies under the VLBI scope. II. The relationship between γ-ray emission and parsec-scale jets in radio galaxies

We thank Laura Vega Garcia for the development of the Python GUI-based code that was used for the kinematic analysis and the spectral index maps. We thank Frank Schinzel as the Fermi-LAT collaboration internal referee. We also thank the journal referee for a constructive report. This research has made use of the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED), which is operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration;data from the MOJAVE database that is maintained by the MOJAVE team (Lister et al. 2018); APLpy, an open-source plotting package for Python (Robitaille & Bressert 2012); Astropy,4 a community-developed core Python package for Astronomy (Astropy Collaboration et al. 2013, 2018) C.M. acknowledges support from the ERC Synergy Grant BlackHoleCam: Imaging the Event Horizon of Black Holes (Grant 610058). R.S. gratefully acknowledges support from the European Research Council under the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP/2007-2013)/ERC Advanced Grant RADIOLIFE-320745. F.K. was supported as an Eberly Research Fellow by the Eberly College of Science at the Pennsylvania State University. The Fermi-LAT Collaboration acknowledges generous ongoing support from a number of agencies and institutes that have supported both the development and the operation of the LAT, as well as scientific data analysis. These include the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Department of Energy in the United States; the Commissariat a lEnergie Atomique and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique/Institut National de Physique Nucleaire et de Physique des Particules in France; the Agenzia Spaziale Italiana and the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare in Italy; the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in Japan; and the K. A. Wallenberg Foundation, the Swedish Research Council, and the Swedish National Space Board in Sweden. Additional support for science analysis during the operations phase is gratefully acknowledged from the Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica in Italy and the Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales in France. This work was performed in part under DOE Contract DE-AC02-76SF00515. The Long Baseline Array is part of the Australia Telescope National Facility which is funded by the Commonwealth of Australia for operation as a National Facility managed by CSIRO. This study made use of data collected through the AuScope initiative. AuScope Ltd is funded under the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS), an Australian Commonwealth Government Programme. This work made use of the Swinburne University of Technology software correlator, developed as part of the Australian Major National Research Facilities Programme. This work was supported by resources provided by the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre with funding from the Australian Government and the Government of Western Australia. Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory(HartRAO) is a facility of the National Research Foundation (NRF) of South Africa.
