Title: Blazar spectral energy distributions: statistical determination of emission parameters
Date: Wednesday, March 13th, 2013
Time: 11:30
Venue: Villa Bazzoni
***********************************************************
Abstract We report about recent results in the numerical implementation of statistically rigorous spectral energy distribution (SED) fits. These fits allow for a determination of emission parameters and related uncertainties. We discuss in detail the statistical significance of these results for two well observed objects, Markarian 421 and Markarian 501. Strong and weak points of the method will be emphasized, showing that existing data may already have the potential to discriminate between different models. We finally report about work in progress to extend the validity of this approach.
