abstract

We consider the constraints on the physical parameters of a homogeneous SSC model that can be derived from the spectral shape and variability of TeV blazars. Assuming that the relativistic electron spectrum is a broken power law, where the break energy $\gamma_b$ is a free parameter, we write the analytical formulae that allow to connect the physical parameters of the model to observable quantities. The constraints can be summarized in a plane where the coordinates are the Doppler factor and the magnetic field. The consistency between the break energy and the balance between cooling and escape and the interpretation of the soft photon lags measured in some sources as radiative cooling times are treated as additional independent constraints. We apply themethod to the case of three well known blazars, PKS 2155-304, Mrk 421 and Mrk 501.

  1. Radio-Gamma-Ray Properties and High-Energy Implications for Fermi Blazars

    astro-ph.HE 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using 1,687 Fermi blazars, the paper reports a plateau in gamma-ray loudness at high synchrotron peak frequencies, interpreted as Klein-Nishina suppression yielding magnetic field constraints for HBLs.

  2. Parsec-scale polarimetry and kinematics of a spine-sheath jet in the neutrino-blazar TXS 0506+056

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    VLBI observations of TXS 0506+056 show a spine-sheath jet with aligned inner and perpendicular outer EVPAs plus a new superluminal component near the IceCube neutrino detection.

  3. Multi-wavelength analysis of FSRQ B2 1348+30B: Constraints on the jet power

    astro-ph.HE 2025-06 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    A 14.5-year multiwavelength analysis of the blazar B2 1348+30B yields jet power limits of about 2.6e46 to 4.2e48 erg/s, with the heavy-jet estimate far exceeding Eddington luminosity.

  4. TeV-PeV Gamma-ray and Neutrino Emission in the Galactic Plane

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Alternative ISRF models produce only modest changes to the LHAASO diffuse gamma-ray fit; the associated pp neutrinos remain consistent with IceCube all-sky data and compatible with ANTARES/KM3NeT limits.

    astro-ph.IM 2019-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    Review of the scientific scope of the Africa Millimetre Telescope for mm-wave monitoring of active galactic nuclei.
