We present the results of six BeppoSAX observations of 1ES 2344+514, five of which were taken within a week. 1ES 2344+514, one of the few known TeV BL Lac objects, was detected by the BeppoSAX Narrow Field Instruments between 0.1 to \~50…

High-resolution radio observations are ideal for constraining the value of physical parameters in the inner regions of active-galactic-nucleus jets and complement results on multiwavelength (MWL) observations. This study is part of a wider…

Extreme blazars have exceptionally hard intrinsic X-ray/TeV spectra and extreme peak energies in their spectral energy distribution (SED). Observational evidence suggests that the non-thermal emission from extreme blazars is typically…

Mkn 421 is a nearby active galactic nucleus dominated at all wavelengths by a very broad non-thermal continuum thought to arise from a relativistic jet seen at a small angle to the line of sight. Its spectral energy distribution peaks in…

Context. The radio galaxy IC 310 has recently been identified as a gamma-ray emitter based on observations at GeV energies with Fermi-LAT and at very high energies (VHE, E>100GeV) with the MAGIC telescopes. Originally classified as a…

We selected a sample of 24 XMM-Newton light curves (LCs) of four high energy peaked blazars, PKS 0548-322, ON 231, 1ES 1426+428 and PKS 2155-304. These data comprise continuous light curves of 7.67h to 18.97h in length. We searched for…

Simultaneous observations of Mkn 421 were taken in very high energy gamma -rays (>200 GeV, CAT experiment), X-rays (RXTE) and optical (KVA). Multi -day RXTE observations are also presented, allowing for detailed modelling of the spectral…

The TACTIC $\gamma$-ray telescope has observed Mrk 421 on 66 clear nights from Dec. 07, 2005 to Apr. 30, 2006, totalling $\sim$ 202 hours of on-source observations. Here, we report the detection of flaring activity from the source at $\geq$…

We have observed the high-frequency-peaked BL Lacertae object PKS2155-304 in 2004, 2005 and 2006 with the CANGAROO-III imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope, and have detected a signal above 660 GeV at the 4.8/sigma level during the 2006…

Markarian 421 (Mrk 421) is one the brightest and closest (z=0.031) blazars known (de Vaucouleurs et al 1991). It is also one of the fastest varying TeV $\gamma$-ray sources, with a flaring activity on time scales as short as tens of…

We present the timing analysis of 10 archived \XMM observations with an exposure of $>40$ ks of Markarian 421. Mrk 421 is the brightest high-frequency-peaked BL Lac object (HBL) emitting in X-rays produced by electrons accelerated in the…
