Scientific paper

The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has detected an unprecedented number of gamma-ray sources. Through a figure of merit procedure, many sources are associated with flat spectrum radio cores, especially at high Galactic latitudes. In order to study the population of these sources, to probe their evolution and to identify targets suitable for further study (e.g. TeV detection or measurements of extragalactic background light attenuation), we must measure redshifts for a large, uniform sample. We describe here follow-up optical spectroscopy of blazars associated with LAT catalog sources, determining the source redshift and AGN properties. We present results on the redshift distribution, and black hole masses of the Fermi blazars.
