BL Lac Objects: Laboratories to study the environment and properties of emitting particles in relativistic jets

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

We report the variation of the spectral energy distribution (SED) of blazars as a function of source activity, based on available, simultaneous multi-wavelength (MWL) observations of BL Lac objects. We use a fully automatized \c{hi}2 minimization procedure, instead of the commonly used eye-ball fit, to model the data sets with a one-zone Synchrotron-Self-Compton (SSC) model. The obtained SSC parameters are then analyzed as a function of source luminosity, and the correlation between parameters is shown. Possibilities of improving the present observational and modeling status of BL Lac objects are also discussed.
