Abstract

In this work, we present updated models of the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for two high-frequency-peaked BL Lac objects (HBLs), that is, 1ES 0414+009 and 1ES 1959+650. The hard gamma-ray spectra observed during their flaring states suggest the presence of an additional emission component beyond the standard synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) scenario. We explore the possibility that this hard gamma-ray emission arises from inverse Compton (IC) scattering by Bethe-Heitler pairs produced along the line of sight, pointing to a more complex high-energy emission mechanism in these sources.
