摘要：

Thanks to the Fermi gamma-ray satellite, it is now confirmed that Misaligned Active Galactic Nuclei (MAGN), i.e. radio galaxies and steep spectrum radio quasars, are a new class of GeV emitters. In this work we present the first gamma-ray and multiwavelength study of the two steep spectrum radio quasars, i.e. 3C 207 and 3C 380, belonging to the MAGN sample. From the gamma-ray variability study we estimate the physical size of the zone where high-energy photons are dissipated: for both sources this region should be very compact, not larger than 0.05 pc. As a successive step, we build multiwavelength light curves of 3C 207 and 3C 380 to search for possible simultaneous outbursts in different wavebands with the aim of localizing the compact emitting region. This is an important issue with strong impact on theoretical models: indeed, knowing where high-energy photons are dissipated (at sub-pc or pc-scale) provides information on the nature of the seed photons involved in the production of the GeV radiation.
