Descripción

Markarian 501 is a well know close by (redshift = 0.034) BL Lac object. It is categorized as a high-synchrotron peaked blazar (HSP; νpeak> 10^{16} Hz) with temporarily extremely high-synchrotron peaked behavior (EHSP; νpeak> 10^{17} Hz). The proximity of the source allows for the observations in the Very High Energy range (VHE; E> 100 GeV) by IACTs, such as the MAGIC telescopes. In 2014, the MAGIC collaboration organized a multiwavelength campaign, during which several flares in VHE and X-ray frequencies were observed. The source presented a similar extreme activity in 1997. Furthermore, a feature was located at ~3 TeV in the spectral energy distribution, and its origin is still discussed to this day. This study seeks to provide an alternative theoretical interpretation of the multiwavelength behaviour in 2014, investigating the appearance of this unique TeV feature in the same year.
