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.

First results from the SPOTS campaign reveal low average optical polarization (≲10%) and low magnetic field ordering (F_B ≲0.10) across 14 TeV blazars, with stochastic or rotating polarization angles and wavelength-dependent behavior indicating complex, turbulent jet structures.

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.
