Multiwavelength Observations Of New Vhe Blazars With Veritas, Fermi, And Swift
Abstract
VERITAS has recently discovered very high energy gamma-ray emission (E>100 GeV) from six BL Lac type blazars. Many of the recent discoveries were motivated by results from the first year of Fermi-LAT observations. Spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and flux variability studies using contemporaneous VERITAS, Fermi LAT, and Swift XRT and UVOT data will be presented. The broadband SEDs are well described by a leptonic one-zone jet model, including internal synchrotron photon fields (SSC) and external photon fields (EC) as targets for Compton scattering.
