Abstract
In this second volume of the Multifrequency Catalogue of BLAZARS we report data on Blazars with Right Ascension between 6h:00 and 12h:00. It is much more complete than Volume I, particularly for what concerns Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars that are more numerous than BL Lac objects. In particular, in this Volume we take into account of very recent Blazar surveys which led to the discovery of many new sources, especially at high redshift. The catalogue, therefore, will also be useful to probe the evolution of the population of Blazars. Blazars are important observational targets for space missions like AGILE, GLAST, PLANCK and SIMBOL–X. Our catalogue, therefore, should also be considered a contribution to the science that can be done by these and by other ground-based observatories.
