The radio-optical-X-ray spectral flux distributions of blazars.
Abstract
Ten confirmed and probable BL Lac objects were searched for X-ray emission using the Einstein Observatory. All 10 were detected. These data were combined with existing data to form a catalog of 99 confirmed (by measured, high, optical linear polarization) and probable blazars (BL Lac objects and highly polarized quasars). Radio, optical, and X-ray observations are available for 77 of these. One of the ten program objects was observed at four epochs during large radio and optical outbursts. The correlations of radio, optical, and X-ray luminosities are examined.
