The very high energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray blazar Markarian 501 has a history of extreme spectral variability and is an excellent laboratory for studying the physical processes within the jets of active galactic nuclei. A short term multi-wavelength study of Markarian 501 was coordinated in March 2009 using the Suzaku X-ray satellite as well as the VERITAS and MAGIC experiments to cover the critical X-ray and VHE gamma-ray bands. The results of the quiescent-state observations with VERITAS and Suzaku are combined with public data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and compared to historical observations of the source during an extreme outburst, to examine the spectral variability, particularly how the spectral energy distribution varies with flux.

  1. On the correlation between X-rays and TeV gamma-rays in HBL Blazars

    astro-ph.HE 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Long-term X-ray and TeV gamma-ray fluxes are linearly correlated in most HBL blazars, with steeper indices for Mrk 501 and the 2006 PKS 2155-304 flare.
