Context.Observations of the γ -ray sky with Fermi led to significant advances towards understanding blazars, the most extreme classof Active Galactic Nuclei. A large fraction of the population detected by Fermi is formed by BL Lacertae (BL Lac) objects, whosesample has always suff ered from a severe redshift incompleteness due to the quasi-featureless optical spectra.Aims.Our goal is to provide a significant increase of the number of confirmed high-redshift BL Lac objects contained in the 2 LACFermi/LAT cataloge.Methods.For 103 Fermi/LAT blazars, photometric redshifts using spectral energy distribution fitting have been obtained. The pho-tometry includes 13 broad-band filters from the far ultraviolet …

The AzTEC 1.1 mm survey of the SCUBA HAlf Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES) fields is the largest (0.7 deg2) blank-field millimetre-wavelength survey undertaken to date at a resolution of ~18" and a depth of ~1 mJy. We have used the deep optical-to-radio multi-wavelength data in the SHADES Lockman Hole East and SXDF/UDS fields to obtain galaxy identifications for ~64% (~80% with tentative identifications) of the 148 AzTEC-SHADES 1.1 mm sources, exploiting deep radio and 24 um data complemented by methods based on 8 um flux-density and red optical-infrared (i-K) colour. This unusually high identification rate can be attributed to the …
