Candidate Gamma-Ray Blazar Survey Source Catalog
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
The authors have constructed a uniform all-sky survey of bright blazars, selected primarily by their flat radio spectra, that is designed to provide a large catalog of likely gamma-ray active galactic nuclei (AGNs).
Description
The defined sample, the Candidate Gamma-Ray Blazar Survey (CGRaBS) source catalog, has 1625 targets with radio and X-ray properties similar to those of the EGRET blazars, spread uniformly across the |b| > 10 degrees sky.
They also report progress toward optical characterization of the sample; of objects with known red magnitude R < 23, 85% have been classified and 81% have measured redshifts. One goal of this program is to focus attention on the most interesting (e.g., high-redshift, high-luminosity, etc.) sources for intensive multi-wavelength study during the observations by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Gamma-Ray Large-Area Space Telescope (GLAST) satellite observatory.
