Scientific paper

The BL Lac object 3C 66A was the target of an intensive multiwavelength monitoring campaign organized in 2003-2004. During the campaign, its spectral energy distribution (SED) was measured and flux measurements from radio to X-ray frequencies as well as upper limits in the very high energy (VHE) γ-ray regime were obtained. Here, we reproduce the SED and optical spectral variability pattern observed during our multiwavelength campaign using a time-dependent leptonic jet model. Our model could successfully simulate the observed SED and optical light curves and predict an intrinsic cutoff value for the VHE γ-ray emission at ~ 4 GeV.
