Resumen:
The motivation of this work is to find blazars among the unidentified gamma-ray sources detected with Fermi-LAT in thecrowed galactic plane region. Searching for photometric characteristics of blazars in the near IR (Z, Y, J, H, Ks passbands)with the Vista Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV survey, Minniti et al. 2010) we aim to find a method to associate blazars tounidentified gamma-ray sources. We show preliminary results on the photometric properties of 4 high-energy gamma-rayblazars detected by Fermi-LAT using the color-magnitude and color-color diagrams of the VVV. We also compare theseresults with a different method based on mid-IR observations acquired with WISE (Massaro et al. 2011).
