| Associated to the scholarship: | 16/25484-9 - Optical observations of blazar candidates and unknown gamma-ray sources, BP.DR |
Abstract About one-third of the gamma-ray sources listed in the third Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) catalog have no firmly established counterpart at lower energies and so are classified as unidentified gamma-ray sources (UGSs). Identifying the low energy counterpart of the UGSs is one of the major scientific challenges faced by the Fermi-LAT Collaboration and is being inspected in many different ways. In this project, a multislit spectroscopy campaign will be performed with the telescopes SOAR and Blanco in an effort to identify the likely blazars among the Fermi-LAT UGSs. | |
