High energy blazars spectroscopy with X-Shooter on the VLT

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2015-06-11 v1

Abstract

We present results of observations in the UV to near-IR range for eight blazars, three of which have been recently discovered at Very High Energies (VHE) and five appearing as interesting candidates for VHE {\gamma}-ray detection. We focus in this paper on the search for their redshifts, which are unknown or considered as uncertain.
