Abstract
We present optical observations of candidate X-ray counterparts for the EGRET
sources 3EG J0010+7309, 3EG J2020+4017 and 3EG J1835+5918 previously found in
ROSAT images. For the first two EGRET sources, we present new optical observations of the ROSAT error box of the respective X-ray counterpart
candidate. In particular, in the case of the g-Cygni source
we put bounds on the possible binary nature of the K0 star positionally
coincident with the X-ray source and identified a new fainter object in the
same error box. In the case of the CTA-1 source (3EG J0010+7309), we performed
deep optical imaging. Finally, a detailed analysis of optical observations of
several X-ray sources within the EGRET error box of 3EG J1835+5918 will be
presented.
