Extended list of 206
possibleAGN/blazar targets for GLAST multifrequency analysis.
This web-tabled of 206
"Very Important AGN/blazars"is an
extended list with respect to the high-priority
AGN belonging to the GLAST Science Goals and the public-data
AGN, (containing several and useful direct links to
database queries for each object).
This sample of bright AGN/blazars is assembled trying to
collect basic data with direct links to existing databases
(avoiding duplication/obsolescence) and can be useful to
plan MW campaign, proposals, simultaneous MW analysis joint
with GLAST data, spectral-temporal analysis and comparison
based on historical datasets. This list might be also a
starting point to develop a dedicated MW AGN database for
GLAST. The sample follows some MW selection criteria below.
Criteria (not statistical)
- All the MOJAVE AGN sample (radio flux/structure
monitored).
- Bright optical AGN (to allow a follow-up by small [<1m]
telescopes, a part of the remaining Mojave targets that are
faint in the optical band).
- Long term historical radio/optical/X-ray data flux
available.
- Most included in ongoing radio-optical monitoring programs
(Michigan, Metsahovi, Perugia, Tuorla, REM, Torino, Colgate,
GTN, WEBT)
- Most included in the 3EG Catalog
- Most included in RXTE-ASM archive, observed by SAX,
SWIFT, included in the WMAP Catalog, or observed by TeV
telescopes, or in the AGILE sources sample.
This catalog can be used to plan Long Term
Monitoring/Planned MW Campaign and as an input list of
sources for the Proposals presented before GLAST is in
orbit
