Disentangling the gamma-ray emission of NGC 1068: The case for AGN-driven galactic outflow
2017
NGC 1068, the brightest and closest Seyfert 2 galaxy, is the brightest of a handful of non-blazar galaxies observed to emit gamma-rays by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope[1]. We provide arguments for the hypothesis that galactic outflow driven by the active nucleus is the most likely source of both the radio and gamma-ray spectra and compare our results to other possible explanations including starburst activity and blazar-like jet emission. We finally outline a multi-wavelength observing program in progress to test this hypothesis.
