Abstract
We present a new catalogue of blazars based on multifrequency surveys
and on an extensive review of the literature. Blazars are classified
as BL Lacertae objects, as flat spectrum radio quasars or as blazars of
uncertain/transitional type. Each object is identified by a root name,
coded as BZB, BZQ and BZU for these three subclasses respectively, and
by its coordinates. This catalogue is being built as a tool useful for
the identification of the extragalactic sources that will be detected by
present and future experiments for X and gamma-ray astronomy, like Swift,
AGILE, Fermi-GLAST and Simbol-X. An electronic version is available from
the ASI Science Data Center web site at http://www.asdc.asi.it/bzcat.
There is the 3d edition of 2011 in CATS !
