More than a dozen blazars are known to be emitters of multi-TeV gamma rays, often with strong and rapid flaring activity. By interacting with photons of the cosmic microwave and infrared backgrounds, these gamma rays inevitably produce…

Astrophysical sources of very high energy (VHE; $>100$ GeV) $\gamma$ rays are rare, since GeV and TeV photons can be only emitted in extreme circumstances involving interactions of relativistic particles with local radiation and magnetic…
