Description
The eRASS is expected to include tens of thousands of blazars. We present the initial results of an extensive search for blazars in both the eRASS1 and EFEDS surveys, primarily conducted at the Brera Observatory using the tools from the Firmamento online platform. We estimate the statistical properties of blazars, distinguishing between low and high energy peaked objects, as well as between broad-lined sources and BL Lacs. In this study, we present the preliminary X-ray LogN-LogS, luminosity function, and cosmological evolution. Based on the shape of the spectral energy distribution, the bolometric flux, and the redshift, we identify the blazars that could be detected by current Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray telescopes, as well as by the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) and the ASTRI mini array.
