The RGB Sample of Intermediate BL Lacs

S. A. Laurent-Muehleisen, R. I. Kollgaard, E. D. Feigelson +2

Combining newly identified and previously known BL Lacs from the RASS-Green Bank (RGB) catalog, we present a sample of 127 BL Lacs, the largest ever derived from a single uniform s…

Determining the Fraction of Intrinsic CIV Absorption in Quasi-Stellar Object Absorption Line Systems

Gordon T. Richards, Donald G. York, Brian Yanny +3

We present the results of a study of QSO Absorption Line Systems (QSOALSs) with respect to intrinsic QSO properties using an updated catalog of data in the literature. We have sear…

ASCA and contemporaneous ground-based observations of the BL Lacertae objects 1749+096 and 2200+420 (BL Lac)

Rita M. Sambruna, G. Ghisellini, Eric Hooper +3

We present ASCA observations of the radio-selected BL Lacertae objects 1749+096 (z=0.32) and 2200+420 (BL Lac, z=0.069) performed in 1995 Sept and Nov, respectively. The ASCA spect…

Four New BL Lac Surveys: Sampling New Populations

S. A. Laurent-Muehleisen, R. H. Becker, W. Brinkmann +5

The advent of large area deep radio and X-ray surveys is leading to the creation of many new BL Lac samples. In particular, the ROSAT All-Sky, Green Bank and FIRST surveys are prov…

Radio-loud Active Galaxies in the Northern ROSAT All-Sky Survey III: New Spectroscopic Identifications from the RGB BL Lac Survey

S. A. Laurent-Muehleisen, R. I. Kollgaard, R. B. Ciardullo +3

We present new spectroscopic identifications for 169 objects in the RASS-Green Bank (RGB) catalog of radio- and X-ray-emitting AGN. These data significantly increase the fraction o…

Multiwavelength Observations of a Dramatic High Energy Flare in the Blazar 3C 279

A. E. Wehrle, E. Pian, C. M. Urry +3

The blazar 3C 279, one of the brightest identified extragalactic objects in the gamma-ray sky, underwent a flare of a factor 10 amplitude in gamma-rays towards the end of a 3-week…
