Description
We report on the results of two coordinated multiwavelength campaigns
that focused on the blazar Markarian 421 during its 2006 and 2008
outbursts. These campaigns obtained UV and X-ray data using the
XMM-Newton satellite, while the gamma-ray data were obtained utilizing
three imaging atmospheric Cerenkov telescopes, the Whipple 10 m
telescope and VERITAS, both based in Arizona, as well as the MAGIC
telescope, based on La Palma in the Canary Islands. The coordinated
effort between the gamma-ray groups allowed for truly simultaneous data
in UV/X-ray/gamma-ray wavelengths during a significant portion of the
XMM-Newton observations. This simultaneous coverage allowed for a
reliable search for correlations between UV, X-ray, and gamma-ray
variability over the course of the observations. Investigations of
spectral hysteresis and modeling of the spectral energy distributions
are also presented.
