Description:
This catalog presents the 1-100 GeV spectral energy distribution (SED)
for a population of 148 high-synchrotron-peaked blazars (HSPs) recently
detected with Fermi-LAT as part of the
First Brazil-ICRANet Gamma-ray Blazar catalogue (1BIGB).
A series of two works describe details on the broadband analysis:
:bibcode:`2017A&A...598A.134A`, and the calculation of the
gamma-ray SEDs :bibcode:`2018MNRAS.480.2165A`.
The 1BIGB sample was originally selected from an excess signal in the
0.3-500 GeV band The flux estimates presented here are derived considering
PASS8 data, integrating over more than 9 years of Fermi-LAT observations. The
full broadband fit between 0.3-500 GeV presented in paper 1 for all sources
was reevaluated in paper 2, updating the power-law parameters with currently
The catalog 1WHSP is the result of a multi-frequency selection for
blazars like SED, further filtered using IR-radio and IR-X-ray
flux-ratios. The sample assembled contains almost 992 sources of HSP
blazars, of which 425 are previously known blazars, 151 new
identifications and 416 blazar candidates. On the very high energy
trend, 299 are confirmed GeV gamma-ray photons emitters and 36 have
already been detected in the TeV band.
