Blazar counterparts for 3EG sources

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Supplementing existing survey data with Very Large Array (VLA) observations, we have extended {gamma}-ray counterpart identifications down to decl.=-40{deg} using our "figure-of-merit" approach.

Description

We find blazar counterparts for 70% of EGRET sources above decl.=-40{deg} away from the Galaxy. Spectroscopic confirmation is in progress, and spectra for 24 sources are presented here.

We find evidence that increased exposure in the bulge region allowed EGRET to detect relatively faint blazars; a clear excess of nonblazar objects in this region, however, argues for an additional (new) source class.
