Variability in the synchrotron self-Compton model of blazar emission
A. Mastichiadis, J. G. Kirk
We present a model of the spectra of gamma-ray emitting blazars in which a single homogeneous emission region both emits synchrotron photons directly and scatters them to high (gam…

On the production of very high energy beamed gamma-rays in blazars
W. Bednarek, J. G. Kirk, A. Mastichiadis
The variable flux of TeV gamma-rays detected from Mkn 421 and Mkn 501 requires the presence of high energy electrons, which could in principle produce large numbers of electron/pos…
