High Energy Emission from Cosmic Beacons
 
 

High-energy (>100 MeV) gamma-ray emission is one of the defining characteristics of active galactic nuclei (AGN) hosting powerful relativistic jets. This talk will briefly discuss some of the recent discoveries of detecting gamma-ray emission from a variety of jetted AGN, e.g., nearby low-luminosity Fanaroff-Riley type 0 (FR0) radio sources to the most luminous blazars at the cosmic dawn (z > 4). The talk will also summarize how efficiently utilizing the ongoing and upcoming wide-field multi-wavelength surveys will be crucial to discovering monsters lurking among the unknown high-energy emitters and understanding the origin of relativistic jets in these cosmic beacons.
