Abstract:
Blazars are variable sources on various timescales over a broad energy
range spanning from radio to very high energy (>100GeV, hereafter
VHE). Mrk 501 is one of the brightest blazars at TeV energies and has
been extensively studied since its first VHE detection in 1996.
However, most of the γ-ray studies performed on Mrk 501 during
the past years relate to flaring activity, when the source detection
and characterization with the available γ-ray instrumentation
was easier to perform.
Our goal is to characterize in detail the source γ-ray emission,
together with the radio-to-X-ray emission, during the non-flaring
(low) activity, which is less often studied than the occasional
flaring (high) activity.
We organized a multiwavelength (MW) campaign on Mrk 501 between March
and May 2008. This multi-instrument effort included the most sensitive
VHE γ-ray instruments in the northern hemisphere, namely the
imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopesMAGIC and VERITAS, as well as
Swift, RXTE, the F-GAMMA, GASP-WEBT, and other collaborations and
instruments. This provided extensive energy and temporal coverage of
Mrk 501 throughout the entire campaign.
Description:
The files described here provide the multi-instrument (from radio to
Very High Energy γ-ray) light curves reported in Figure 2 of the
paper, and the Spectral Energy Distributions reported in Figure 5 of
the paper.
