Blazar counterparts for 3EG sources at -40°<Decl.<0°: pushing south through the bulge.

Abstract (from CDS):

Supplementing existing survey data with Very Large Array (VLA) observations, we have extended γ-ray counterpart identifications down to decl.=-40° using our ``figure-of-merit'' approach. We find blazar counterparts for ∼70% of EGRET sources above decl.=-40° 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.
