We use the third catalog of blazars detected by Fermi/LAT (3LAC) and gamma-ray Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Galaxies (gamma-NLSy1s) to study the blazar sequence and relationship between them. Our results are as follows: (i) There is a weak anti-correlation between synchrotron peak frequency and peak luminosity for both Fermi blazars and gamma-NLSy1s, which supports the blazar sequence. However, after Doppler correction, the inverse correlation disappeared, which suggests that anti-correlation between synchrotron peak frequency and peak luminosity is affected by the beaming effect. (ii) There is a significant anti-correlation between jet kinetic power and synchrotron peak frequency for both Fermi blazars and gamma-NLSy1s, which suggests that the gamma-NLSy1s could fit well into the original blazar sequence. (iii) According to previous work, the relationship between synchrotron peak frequency and synchrotron curvature can be explained by statistical or stochastic acceleration mechanisms. There are significant correlations between synchrotron peak frequency and synchrotron curvature for whole sample, Fermi blazars and BL Lacs, respectively. The slopes of the correlation are consistent with statistical acceleration. For FSRQs, LBLs, IBLs, HBLs, and gamma-NLS1s, we also find a significant correlation, but in these cases the slopes can not be explained by previous theoretical models. (iv) The slope of relation between synchrotron peak frequency and synchrotron curvature in gamma-NLS1s is large than that of FSRQs and BL Lacs. This result may imply that the cooling dominates over the acceleration process for FSRQs and BL Lacs, while gamma-NLS1s is the opposite.

This article reviews our current understanding about $gamma$-ray detected narrow-line Seyfert 1 ($gamma$-NLSy1) galaxies. The detection with the Large Area Telescope onboard {it Fermi}~Gamma-ray Space Telescope has provided the strongest evidence for the presence of closely aligned relativistic jet in these intriguing active galactic nuclei (AGN) and opened up a realm to explore the physical conditions needed to launch the jet in a different central engine and host galaxy environment than that is known for blazars. Promising results acquired from various multi-wavelength campaigns are converging to a scenario in which the $gamma$-NLSy1 galaxies can be considered as `young blazars. These enigmatic sources hold the key to unravel the jet triggering mechanism and evolution of the AGN phase of a galaxy, in general. As such, $gamma$-NLSy1s should be considered as one of the top priority targets for next generation observational facilities.

The {gamma}-ray detection from several radio-loud (RL) narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies has enabled us to study powerful relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with smaller black hole masses and higher accretion rates than classical blazars. However, the sample of those {gamma}-ray detected NLS1s available is still not large enough for a comprehensive and statistical study. We provide a summary of our detections and follow-up studies of three {gamma}-ray-emitting NLS1s: SDSS J211852.96-073227.5 with flaring {gamma}-ray radiation (Yang et al. 2018, Paliya et al. 2018) and SDSS J122222.55+041315.7 with the highest redshift by far (z~1) (Yao et al. 2015a), along with the prototype 1H 0323+342 (Zhou et al. 2007, Yao et al. 2015b). And we will discuss their multiwavelength properties and variability properties, including implications from high-energy observations in {gamma}-rays and X-rays, infrared and radio properties, and correlated variability between several wavebands.
We report the analysis of all Swift observations available up to 2019 April of $gamma$-ray-emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLSy1). The distribution of X-ray luminosities (and fluxes) indicates that the jet radiation significantly contributes to their X-ray emission, with Doppler boosting making values higher than other radio-loud NLSy1. The 0.3-10 keV photon indices are on average harder with respect to radio-quiet and radio-loud NLSy1, confirming a dominant jet contribution in X-rays. However, the lower variability amplitude with respect to blazars and the softening of the spectrum in some periods suggests that also the corona radiation contributes to the X-ray emission. In optical and ultraviolet (UV) significant flux changes have been observed on daily, weekly, and monthly time-scale, providing a clear indication of the significant contribution of the jet radiation in this part of spectrum. A strong correlation between X-ray, UV, and optical emission and simultaneous flux variations have been observed in 1H 0323+342, SBS 0846+513, PMN J0948+0022 as expected in case the jet radiation is the dominant mechanism. Correlated multiband variability favours the jet-dominated scenario also in FBQS J1644+2619 and PKS 2004-447. The summed X-ray Telescope spectra of 1H 0323+342, SBS 0846+513, PMN J0948+0022, and FBQS J1644+2619 are well fitted by a broken power law with a break around 2 keV. The spectrum above 2 keV is dominated by the non-thermal emission from a beamed relativistic jet, as suggested by the hard photon index. A Seyfert-like feature like the soft X-ray excess has been observed below 2 keV, making these $gamma$-ray-emitting NLSy1 different from typical blazars.
Narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies provide us with unique insights into the drivers of AGN activity under extreme conditions. Given their low black hole (BH) masses and near-Eddington accretion rates, they represent a class of galaxies with rapidl y growing supermassive BHs in the local universe. Here, we present the results from our multi-frequency radio monitoring of a sample of {gamma}-ray loud NLS1 galaxies ({gamma}NLS1s), including systems discovered only recently, and featuring both the nearest and the most distant {gamma}NLS1s known to date. We also present high-resolution radio imaging of 1H 0323+342, which is remarkable for its spiral or ring-like host. Finally, we present new radio data of the candidate {gamma}-emitting NLS1 galaxy RX J2314.9+2243, characterized by a very steep radio spectrum, unlike other {gamma}NLS1s.

The discovery of gamma-ray emission from 5 radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies revealed the presence of a possible emerging third class of AGNs with relativistic jets, in addition to blazars and radio galaxies. The existence of relativistic jet s also in this subclass of Seyfert galaxies opened an unexplored research space for our knowledge of the radio-loud AGNs. Here, we discuss the radio-to-gamma-rays properties of the gamma-ray emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies, also in comparison with the blazar scenario.
