Identification of the new gamma-ray blazar NRAO 676 through Swift follow-up observations
Abstract
Following the recent gamma-ray flaring activity observed from a new gamma-ray source not included in any of the Fermi LAT catalogs and positionally associated to the flat spectrum radio quasar NRAO 676 (also known as TXS 2159+505, see Fermi LAT ATel#4486 and ATel #4182), we requested medium priority Swift Target of Opportunity (ToO) observations.
