| Popis: | Studying unidentified {\gamma}-ray sources is important as they may hide new discoveries. We conducted a multiwavelength analysis of 13 unidentified Fermi-LAT sources in the 3FGL catalog that have no known counterparts (Unidentified Gamma-ray Sources, UnIDs). The sample was selected for sources that have a single radio and X-ray candidate counterpart in their uncertainty ellipses. The purpose of this study is to find a possible blazar signature and to model the Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of the selected sources using an empirical log parabolic model. The results show that the synchrotron emission of all sources peaks in the infrared (IR) band and that the high-energy emission peaks in MeV to GeV bands. The SEDs of sources in our sample are all blazar like. In addition, the peak position of the sample reveals that 6 sources (46%) are Low Synchrotron Peaked (LSP) blazars, 4 (31%) of them are High Synchrotron Peaked (HSP) blazars, while 3 of them (23%) are Intermediate Synchrotron Peaked (ISP) blazars.
