Abstract
In the blazar catalog BZCAT the objects are divided into 4 types: BZB, BZQ, BZG, and BZU. In this paper BZG objects are studied in order to determine their physical nature. Of the 274 BZG objects, 150 have optical spectra in the SDSS spectroscopic catalog, for which a detailed spectral classification has been carried out. A radio study showed that these objects mostly (69%) have a flat radio spectrum with a spectral index less than ±0.5. Quasars predominate among these kinds of radio spectra. However, with increasing distance, on the average the radio spectrum becomes steeper.
期刊介绍：
Astrophysics (Ap) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal which publishes research in theoretical and observational astrophysics. Founded by V.A.Ambartsumian in 1965 Astrophysics is one of the international astronomy journals. The journal covers space astrophysics, stellar and galactic evolution, solar physics, stellar and planetary atmospheres, interstellar matter. Additional subjects include chemical composition and internal structure of stars, quasars and pulsars, developments in modern cosmology and radiative transfer.
