Short-timescale Variability in the Broadband Emission of the Blazars Mkn421 and Mkn501
M. J. Carson, B. McKernan, T. Yaqoob +1
We analyse ASCA x-ray data and Whipple γ-ray data from the blazars Mkn421 and Mkn501 for short-timescale variability. We find no evidence for statistically significant (>3σ) variab…

VHE gamma-ray observations of Markarian 501
Whipple Collaboration, A. C. Breslin, I. H. Bond +29
Markarian 501, a nearby (z=0.033) X-ray selected BL Lacertae object, is a well established source of Very High Energy (VHE, E>=300 GeV) gamma rays. Dramatic variability in its gamm…
