Discovery of a Fanaroff–Riley type 0 radio galaxy emitting at γ-ray energies

We present supporting evidence for the first association of a Fermi source, 3FGLJ1330.0-3818, with the FR0 radio galaxy Tol1326-379. FR0s represent the majority of the local radio loud AGN population but their nature is still unclear. They share the same properties of FRIs from the point of view of the nuclear and host properties, but they show a large deficit of extended radio emission. Here we show that FR0s can emit photons at very high energies. Tol1326-379 has a GeV luminosity of $L_{>1~{\rm GeV}} \sim 2\times10^{42}$ erg s$^{-1}$, typical of FRIs, but with a steeper $\gamma$-ray spectrum ($\Gamma=2.78\pm 0.14$). This could be related to the intrinsic jet properties but also to a different viewing angle.
