Notes. Columns: (1) IAU B1950 name; (2) Common catalog name; (3), (4) J 2000 coordinates; (5) Classification: Q – Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar, B – BL Lac object; (6) Redshift: (7) Total high-energy photon flux from Krauß et al. (2014); (8) Estimated number N_{ν_e} of ν_e events in the IceCube 662-day analysis (IceCube Collaboration 2013); (9) IC gives the IceCube event IDs from Aartsen et al. (2014) with which the blazars are positionally consistent within the angular error range from IceCube Collaboration (2013).
