Description

The broadband spectral study of blazars has provided significant information regarding the emission processes and the blazar jet environment. Inputs derived from the temporal study are often conflicting with the processes responsible for the flux variation not being consistent with the statistical flux distribution. Besides these, even after decades of research, the matter content of blazar jets and the associated energetics are still largely unknown. In this talk, I will be reviewing the efforts undertaken to provide answers to these questions and the issues which and yet to be addressed.
