BROS: Blazar Radio and Optical Survey (Itoh et al., 2020)

Introduction

BROS (Blazar Radio and Optical Survey) is a new blazar candidate catalog, which includes 88,211 sources located at declination δ > -40 degree and outside the Galactic Plane |b| > 10 degree. We list compact flat-spectrum radio sources of α > -0.6 from 0.15 GHz TGSS and 1.4 GHz NVSS catalogs. We further identify optical counterparts of the selected sources by cross-matching with the Pan-STARRS1 photometric data (link to ADS and Paper).
