摘要
The Iron-thermal spectra of blazars, observed from radio to GeV/TeV gamma -rays, reveal two pronounced components, both produced by radiation from energetic particles. One peaks in the IR to soft X-ray band, radiating via the synchrotron process; the other, peaking at high gamma -ray energies, is produced by tile Compton process. Tile X-ray regime is important, as it is where the emission due to both processes overlap. In this paper, results from recent multi-frequency observations of blazars are reported with emphasis on X-ray observations.
