Description
We performed the soft and hard X-ray analysis of high energy peaked (HBL) blazar source Mkn
501 using Swift-XRT and NuSTAR observations. The simultaneous Swift-XRT and NuSTAR
observations between 2013 and 2018 are taken in this study. In order to quantify the correlation
between spectral parameters using different particle energy distribution models, we fit the spectrum
with the log-parabola model, power-law particle distribution with maximum electron energy, and
energy-dependent acceleration (EDA) models, respectively. It has been shown that the correlation
obtained from a single short flare (~5-days) of Mkn 421, can be used to distinguish the spectrally
degenerate models. In our work, we are trying to compare the correlation results using the long-
term observations including high and low flux states of HBL Mkn 501, with the results obtained
from short-term flare of HBL Mkn 421 (Hota et al. 2021). In addition, we have also performed
analysis in the Ultra-violet (UV) band, where the data have been taken from Swift-UVOT and have
fitted the multi-wavelength spectrum with the spectral models. However, we are looking for some
data in gamma band from fermi-LAT to see how well the spectrum gets fitted with the convolution
models.
