We present a comprehensive analysis of the broadband spectral energy distribution (SED) of the extreme high-energy peaked BL Lac (EHBL) source, 1ES 0229$+$200. Our study utilizes near-simultaneous data collected at various epochs between…
We present a comprehensive study of the X-ray spectral variability observed in 13 TeV photon emitting high energy peaked BL Lacs(HBLs). These data come from 54 XMM-Newton EPIC-PN pointed observations made during its operational period from…
We present the results from a multiwavelength campaign on the TeV blazar 1ES 1959+650, performed in May, 2006. Data from the optical, UV, soft- and hard-X-ray and very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray (E > 100 GeV) bands were obtained with the…
We present new BeppoSAX LECS, MECS and PDS observations of five lobe-dominated, broad-line active galactic nuclei selected from the 2-Jy sample of southern radio sources. These include three radio quasars and two broad-line radio galaxies.…
BeppoSAX observed 8 times the gamma-ray bright blazar PKS 0528+134 in Feb. and Mar. 1997, during a multiwavelength campaign involving EGRET, onboard CGRO, and ground based telescopes. The source was in its faintest X-ray state observed so…
The emission of the so-called extreme BL Lacs poses challenges to the particle acceleration models. The hardness of their spectrum, $\lesssim 2$, in the high-energy band demands unusual parameters using the standard one-zone synchrotron…
PKS 1424+240 is a distant very high energy gamma-ray BL Lac object with redshift $z=0.601$. It was found that pure synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) process normally need extreme input parameters (e.g., very low magnetic field intensity and…
