Abstract

Recent high-sensitivity observation of the nearby radio galaxy M87 has provided important insights into the central engine that drives the large-scale outflows seen in radio, optical and X-rays. This review summarizes the observational status achieved in the high energy (HE < 100 GeV) and very high energy (VHE > 100 GeV) gamma-ray domains, and discusses the theoretical progress in understanding the physical origin of this emission and its relation to the activity of the central black hole.
