Scientific paper

The highest energy gamma rays detected by EGRET from any blazar are from RGB 0509+056 with 2 γ-rays above 40 GeV. The gamma-ray spectrum is hard, being undetectable above 100 MeV, and only 4.5 sigma above 1 GeV. The redshift of this object is unknown, although its optical magnitude is 15.3. The radio flux is variable but has been as bright as 1 Jy at 4.85 GHz. This blazar was also detected in the ROSAT all sky survey. .
