Scientific paper

The paper discusses the extragalactic sources that have been discovered with the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope. All of the sources demonstrate evidence of blazar properties at other wavelengths, including high optical polarization, extreme optical variability, flat-spectrum radio emission associated with a compact core, and apparent superluminal motion. These properties are believed to be produced by those few rare extragalactic quasars and radio galaxies that are favorably aligned to make it possible to observe almost directly down a relativistically outflowing jet of matter expelled from a supermassive black hole.
