We present two BeppoSAX observations of BL Lac (2200+420) as part of a multiwavelength campaign performed in 2000. The source was in different states of activity: in June, the X-ray spectrum was faint and hard (alpha sim 0.8), with positive residuals towards low energies. In October we detected the highest [2-10] keV flux ever measured for the source. During this observation, the spectrum was soft (alpha sim 1.56) up to 10 keV, while above this energy a hard component was dominating. The BeppoSAX data are confirmed by simultaneous RXTE short observations. During the first observation the soft X-ray flux was variable on timescales of a few hours, while the hard X-ray flux was almost constant. During the second observation, instead, the soft spectrum displayed an erratic behaviour with large variations (up to factors 3-4) on timescales smaller than 2 hrs. The analysis of the multiwavelength SED of October evidenced an intriguing feature: the optical and X-ray sections of the SED are misaligned, while in the prevailing standard picture, they are both thought to be produced via synchrotron emission. We suggested four scenarios to account for this discrepancy: a higher than galactic dust-to-gas ratio towards the source, the first detection of bulk Compton emission in the X-ray band, the presence of two synchrotron emitting regions located at different distances from the nucleus, the detection of a Klein-Nishina effect on the synchrotron spectrum. We evidenced the favorable and critical points of each scenario, but, at present, we cannot discriminate between them.

We present new BeppoSAX LECS and MECS observations, covering the energy range 0.1 - 10 keV (observers frame), of four BL Lacertae objects selected from the 1 Jy sample. All sources display a flat (alpha_x ~ 0.7) X-ray spectrum, which we interpret as
We present results from multiwavelength observations of the BL Lacertae object 1ES 1741+196, including results in the very-high-energy $gamma$-ray regime using the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS). The VERITAS time-av
Combined with very-long-baseline interferometry measurements, the observations of fast TeV gamma-ray flares probe the structure and emission mechanism of blazar jets. However, only a handful of such flares have been detected to date, and only within
Observations of fast TeV $gamma$-ray flares from blazars reveal the extreme compactness of emitting regions in blazar jets. Combined with very-long-baseline radio interferometry measurements, they probe the structure and emission mechanism of the jet
