摘要
It has been suggested that some radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 contain relativistic jets, on the basis of their flat-spectrum radio nuclei and studies on variability. We present preliminary results of ail ongoing investigation of the X-ray and multiwavelength properties of 5 radio-loud NLS1 based oil archival data front Swift and XMM-Newton. Some sources present interesting characteristics, very uncharacteristic For a radio-quiet narrow-line Seyfert 1, such as very hard X-ray spectra, and correlated optical and ultraviolet variability, However, none of the studied sources show conclusive evidence for relativistic jets. gamma-Ray observations with Fermi are strongly recommended to definitely decide oil the presence or not of relativistic jets.
