Scientific paper

The Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment (STACEE) is a ground-based experiment that is sensitive to gamma rays above 100 GeV. STACEE's extragalactic observing program has included both high-frequency peaked as well as low-frequency peaked BL Lac objects (HBLs & LBLs). STACEE's sensitivity to astrophysical sources at an energy range 100 - 500 GeV allows it to explore LBLs, with their synchrotron peaks at lower energies. The sources observed include the HBLs: Markarian 421, Markarian 501,1H 1426+428 and 1ES 1218+304, and the LBLs: 3C 66A, OJ 287 and W Comae. Both the 3C 66A and Mrk 421 observations were part of intensive multiwavelength campaigns. We present a summary of these observations.
