W. ; Salamon, M. H. Abstract We present the results of a new model calculation of the γ-ray background produced by unresolved blazars, using the second EGRET catalog and taking account of flaring. These results are compared to the preliminary γ-ray background spectrum reported recently by the EGRET team. We find that blazars can account for the entire extragalactic γ-ray background observed by EGRET. In addition, the EGRET spectrum shows some evidence of a signature for the blazar background, a concavity in the spectrum first pointed out in our earlier paper.
