Hunting the nature of the Seyfert 1 galaxy GRS 1734-292: can it be a gamma-ray emitter?
Abstract
It has been proposed that the radio-weak Seyfert galaxy GRS 1734-292 is the counterpart of 3EG J1736-2908 and of the nearby Fermi/LAT source. I examine this identification, considering that the radio weakness could result from free-free absorption of a relativistic jet. An association with the EGRET detections is plausible, whereas the latest Fermi/LAT localization no longer favors GRS 1734-292. New observations, especially at radio frequencies of tens of GHz, would help to settle the issue.
