Multiwavelength Blazar Studies

The discovery of a multitude of strongly gamma-ray emitting AGNs by EGRET and the detection of at least two AGNs at even higher energies by the Whipple Collaboration generated much interest in the study of those objects and extensive observations were conducted in the following years. The Michigan group concentrated its effort on continued observations of the two TeV gamma-ray sources, Markarian 421 and Markarian 501, to monitor variability in the high energy emission as well as to provide simultaneous measurements during multiwavelength observations of these objects.
