J/A+A/508/107 WMAP3 catalogue (Giommi+, 2009) ================================================================================ The number counts, luminosity functions, and evolution of microwave-selected (WMAP) blazars and radio galaxies.

Our work has led to the identification of 309 WMAP sources, 98% of which are blazars, radio quasars, or radio galaxies. Only 7 WMAP detections were identified with other types of cosmic sources (3 starburst galaxies and 4 planetary/LBN nebulae). At present, 15 objects (<5%) still remain without identification because of the unavailability of optical spectroscopic data or a clear radio counterpart. Our results allow us to define a flux-limited sample of 203 high Galactic latitude microwave sources (f_41GHz_>=1Jy, |b_II_|>15{deg} that is virtually completely identified (99%). Description: The catalogue of WMAP bright foreground sources that we consider is based on the WMAP 3-year data (Hinshaw et al., 2007, Cat. J/ApJS/170/288) and includes 324 sources detected by WMAP in at least one channel after three years of operation.
