Scientific paper

The authors have studied the broadband spectral energy distributions of 25 BL Lac objects from radio to X-ray frequencies. After a brief description of the data base, they discuss the qualitative characteristics of the spectral continuum distributions. This is followed by a quantitative analysis of the spectral indices in the various regimes and an estimate of the stellar contribution. The Synchrotron Self-Compton model is discussed, along with the question of the high-frequency turnover of the synchrotron spectrum. A summary of the conclusions is presented.
