Abstract

We present radio to submillimeter-wave continuum spectra of 44 bright, compact extragalactic radio sources with flat spectra at centimeter wavelengths ("blazars"). Infrared J, H, and K flux densities are added to the spectra of six of these objects. These spectra are useful in comparisons of x-ray and γ-ray measurements with the multiwaveband properties of blazars. A number of the objects have been detected as strong, hard γ-ray sources by the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO). The millimeter-wave spectra of the γ-ray bright blazars we observe are flatter on average than for the sample as a whole.
