Abstract: AGNs with hard $\gamma$-ray emission identified so far are radio-loud. III Zw2 is a radio intermediate AGN with a relativistic jet. We study its spectralenergy distribution SED and find that the broad band emissions are dominatedby the non-thermal emissions from the jet. We model its SED through asynchrotron + inverse Compton IC model. The results show that the ICcomponent of III Zw 2 peaks at a few MeV, and the flux density drops rapidly athigher energy with photon index $\Gamma\approx3.3$ above 0.1 GeV. The predictedflux is slightly over the sensitivity of $Fermi$-LAT, but it is not included inthe first $Fermi$-LAT AGN catalog. The reason for this may be: 1 that the ICpeak is low and the spectrum is very steep above 0.1 GeV, 2 that III Zw 2 isin the low state during the period of the $Fermi$-LAT operation. We also findthat III Zw 2 follows similar jet processes as those in $\gamma$-ray AGNs,e.g., the relation between jet power and radiation power, called the blazarsequence. We suggest that III Zw 2 may be a young source at an earlier stage ofjet activity.
