27 Conclusions Hard X-ray observations of (gamma-ray) blazars by NuSTAR provide direct insight into the population of relativistic particles producing gamma-ray emission Extensive multi-instrument campaigns on Mrk421 and Mrk501 have happened every year since 2009 (see talk by David Paneque). The campaigns from 2013 could count, for the first time, with NuSTAR Special focus on NuSTAR observations simultaneous to MAGIC/VERITAS, as well as Swift/optical, which brought unprecedented insight into the broadband nature of both sources NuSTAR showed < day scale variability extends to hard X-ray energies within Mrk 421 and Mrk 501 Mrk 421 and Mrk 501 are remarkably different animals Mrk 421 VHE emission likely to occur in Klein-Nishina regime, while Mrk 501 VHE emission is within the Thompson regime Observations of additional gamma-ray emitting blazars will also provide interesting insight into the jet broadband emission - stay tuned! PS Observe PKS if you ve got a chance!
