Descripción
The TeV blazars Markarian 421 and Markarian 501 are excellent
laboratories for studying the physical processes within the jets of
active galactic nuclei due to their history of extreme variability.
However, the potential for rapid variability in these objects makes it
important for strictly simultaneous multi-wavelength data to be utilized
for studying their broadband behavior. In this dissertation
presentation, a summary of results from my work, aimed at further
understanding the broadband spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of
these objects, will be shown. The focus is to further understand the
emission mechanism and origin of the flares in these sources by studying
how their SEDs vary with flux and searching for potential correlations
between X-ray, optical/UV, and TeV data. Studies of spectral hysteresis
and hardness-intensity correlations observed in these sources are also
discussed.
