Analysis of Potential 5 GHz Radio and X-ray Counterparts to the
3EG EGRET Sources

Abstract
We present elliptical fits to the 95% position confidence
contours for all sources in the 3rd EGRET catalog. For most sources,
these elliptical fits describe the 95% position confidence
contour substantially better than the circles provided
by the 3rd EGRET catalog. We provide figures for all sources where
the elliptical fit is not precise.
A tentative catalogue of flat spectrum radio
counterparts for the 3EG EGRET sources is presented based on these fits
(analogous to that for the 2EG EGRET
sources, Mattox et al., 1997, Ap J, 481, 95).
These include
50 ``robust'' EGRET blazar identifications, and an additional
30 ``potential'' EGRET blazar identifications.
Also, we have begun to use
these elliptical fits to search for ROSAT sources which correspond to
unidentified EGRET sources.
The complete work will eventually be available at
