Coordinated RXTE and multiwavelength observations of blazars

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Results from recent multiwavelength observations of blazars are reviewed, with particular emphasis on those involving the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). I discuss blazars' spectral energy distributions, their correlated variability at various energies, and the insights they offer on the physical processes in the jet. New results on Mrk 501, PKS 2155--304, and PKS 2005--489 are highlighted.
