摘要:

我们提出了一种新的方法来识别blazar候选人通过检查的轨迹,即区域所占据的费米伽玛射线blazar在三维颜色空间定义的WISE红外颜色。这种方法是我们以前方法的改进,该方法利用了WISE伽马射线发射耀变体(条带)在三个WISE颜色-颜色平面中分布的二维投影(Massaro等人,2012 a)。本文通过对一个由ROMA-BZCAT源和WISE全天星表中的对应源组成的大样本耀变体(WISE Fermi Blazars sample,WFB)的颜色分布进行主成分分析,定义了该样本的三维轨迹。我们的新方法产生的总的完整性c~81%和总效率e~ 97%。我们还获得了当地的估计的效率和完整性的WISE颜色和候选耀变体的银河系坐标的函数。与WFB样本相关联的所有WISE候选耀变体的目录也被提出,由档案多频率信息的替代协会补充。最后,我们将新的关联程序应用于2FGL中的所有伽马射线耀变体,并提供了一个包含根据我们的程序选择的所有伽马射线候选耀变体的目录。

英文摘要:

We present a new method for identifying blazar candidates by examining the locus, i.e. the region occupied by the Fermi gamma-ray blazars in the three-dimensional color space defined by the WISE infrared colors. This method is a refinement of our previous approach that made use of the two-dimensional projection of the distribution of WISE gamma-ray emitting blazars (the Strip) in the three WISE color-color planes (Massaro et al. 2012a). In this paper, we define the three-dimensional locus by means of a Principal Component (PCs) analysis of the colors distribution of a large sample of blazars composed by all the ROMA-BZCAT sources with counterparts in the WISE All-Sky Catalog and associated to gamma-ray source in the second Fermi LAT catalog (the WISE Fermi Blazars sample, WFB). Our new procedure yields a total completeness of c~81% and total efficiency of e~97%. We also obtain local estimates of the efficiency and completeness as functions of the WISE colors and galactic coordinates of the candidate blazars. The catalog of all WISE candidate blazars associated to the WFB sample is also presented, complemented by archival multi-frequency information for the alternative associations. Finally, we apply the new association procedure to all gamma-ray blazars in the 2FGL and provide a catalog containing all the gamma-ray candidates blazars selected according to our procedure.
