Scientific paper

We present results from a large-scale study of the megaparsec-scale environments of blazars, including BL Lac objects and flat-spectrum radio quasars. Using the catalog of galaxies from the SDSS DR8, we compute spatial covariance amplitudes for a sample of more than 2900 blazars, the largest ever assembled. The covariance amplitudes are analyzed to compute the relative levels of clustering for various blazar types. We also compare the clustering of blazars to FRI and FRII radio galaxies to explore possibility of a parent population in the context of a blazar sequence. Finally, we present preliminary results on the morphologies of galaxies located within 1 Mpc of blazars, with classifications supplied by Galaxy Zoo data.
