Resumen:
Our motivation is to find blazars among the unidentifiedgamma-ray sources detected with Fermi-LAT in the crowed galactic planeregion. Searching for photometric characteristics of blazars in the near-IR using data from the Vista Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV survey),we aim to find a method to associate blazars to unidentified gamma-raysources. We show preliminary results on the photometric properties of 4gamma-ray blazars using the color-magnitude and color-color diagrams.We also compare these results with a different method based on mid-IRobservations acquired with Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE).
