Abstract
We conducted multiwavelength observations of the northern TeV blazars, Mkn501 and Mkn421, employing the ground-based γ-ray telescopes MAGIC and HESS, the Suzaku X-ray satellite and the KVA optical telescope. The observations for Mkn501 were performed in July 2006. The source showed one of the lowest fluxes both in very high energy (VHE) γ-ray and X-ray. No significant flux variability could be found in the VHE band while an overall increase of about 50% on a 1-day time scale could be seen in the light curve of the X-ray flux. A one-zone synchrotron self-Compton model can well describe our simultaneous spectral data of the VHE γ-ray and the X-ray emissions of Mkn501 in the quiescent state. The simultaneous observations of Mkn421 were carried out in April 2006. The source was clearly detected in all observations and showed a high state of activity both in VHE γ-ray and X-ray.
