Simultaneous NICER+NuSTAR spectra of four TeV blazars show that 6 spectra require a blackbody component interpreted as accretion disk emission during low-flux states, plus Gaussian features at 1.4–1.7 keV in Mrk 421.

HAWC observations of Mrk 421 reveal a 13±3 TeV cutoff in high states at 3.8σ significance, indicating intrinsic origin and providing EBL intensity upper limits.
New multi-band optical monitoring of quasar 4C 29.45 finds variability amplitudes of 220%, 208%, and 209% in V, R, I; spectral indices 1.032-1.573; achromatic trends; and no short-term periodicity.

X-ray Spectral Properties of Four Classical TeV Blazars using Simultaneous Observations from NICER and NuSTAR
Simultaneous NICER+NuSTAR spectra of four TeV blazars show that 6 spectra require a blackbody component interpreted as accretion disk emission during low-flux states, plus Gaussian features at 1.4–1.7 keV in Mrk 421.
