X-ray and Gamma-ray Study of TeV Blazars with RXTE, XMM-Newton, and the Whipple 10 m Telescope

This thesis presents long-tenn X-ray and TeV y-ray observations from 2000 to 2006 of three TeV blazar type Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN): Mrk 421, Mrk 501, and H1426i428. Standard emission models for TeV blazars predict correlated and highly variable X-ray and TeV y-ray radiation from accelerated ele...
