The extragalactic sky at absolute Galactic latitudes above 20 degrees has been investigated using rather restrictive selection criteria, resulting in a total sample of 1342 sources. Of these, 249 are new detections, not previously associated with gamma-ray catalogues. A large fraction of them have interesting counterparts, most likely blazars. In this paper the main results on the catalogue selection and search of counterparts are reported.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-08-03T12:58:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "gamma-ray source candidates", "galactic latitudes higher", "mst catalogue", "absolute galactic latitudes", "minimum spanning tree" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
