Abstract

The EGRET gamma‐ray telescope has detected a persistent source of high energy gamma rays which has not been identified. It was detected in seven different observations in 1991–1993. Variations in the spectrum, combined with a galactic latitude of +25°, make it likely that this is a previously unknown blazar.
