Synergy Between Observations of AGN with GLAST and MAXI - Detecting X-ray Precursors of Gamma-ray Flares in Blazars
Greg Madejski, Marek Sikora, Tsuneyoshi Kamae
The EGRET instrument onboard of CGRO detected a number of gamma-ray flares from blazars, and it is expected that GLAST, to be launched in 2006, should detect many more such flares.…

Five-year Monitorings of TeV Blazars with ASCA and RXTE
J. Kataoka, T. Takahashi, F. Takahara +8
We study the temporal/spectral variability of two extragalactic TeV sources, Mrk 421 and Mrk 501, based on 5-year observations with the ASCA and RXTE satellites. We found that the…

Modeling Flares Produced in Blazars
M. Sikora, M. Blazejowski, R. Moderski +1
We model light curves of flares observed in blazars, assuming that they are produced by relativistic electrons/positrons injected by forward-reverse shocks traveling down the jet w…
