| Abstract: |
We present preliminary results on our programme "Identification of new RGB BL LAC objects". The original sample was selected by crosscorrelating the ROSAT All Sky Survey and Green Bank 5 Ghz radio survey. In the flux ratio distribution log(S_x/S_r) RGB sample is intermediate between XBLs and RBLs. Preliminary results suggest that about 60% of the objects have high (P > 3%) polarization, confirming their identification as BL Lacs. The results will be discussed in connecting RBL and XBL subsamples and compared to previous polarimetric studies of BL Lacs. |
