Description
Blazars are active galactic nuclei whose ultra-relativistic jets is co-aligned with the observer direction. They emit throughout the whole e.m. spectrum, from radio to VHE gamma rays. Not all blazars are discovered. In this work, we propose a catalog of new candidates based on association of HE gamma ray emission and radio, X-ray an optical signatures. The relevance of this work is that it was performed by 4 high school students from the Liceo Ugo Morin in Venice using the open-source platform Open Universe in collaboration with University of Padova. The framework of the activity is the Italian MIUR PCTO programme. The success of this citizen-science experience and results are hereafter reported and discussed.
