Searching for blazars among the fermi-LAT unidentified sources in the galactic plane

We have searched the WISE mid-IR catalog to identify counterparts of yet unassociated bright FermiLAT γ-ray sources located in the Galactic plane. These GeV sources could have a galactic origin, most likely, or they could be extragalactic objects such as blazars, or even a new type of γ-ray emitter....
