Abstract

We present multiwavelength observations of the high-frequency peaked blazar 1ES 2344+514 from October 2007 to January 2008. Very high energy (VHE) γ-ray observations with VERITAS resulted in strong detections on several nights, showing nightly variability in the integral flux above 300 GeV Near simultaneous X-ray observations with RXTE PCA and Swift XRT revealed moderately correlated flux variability between the X-ray and VHE γ-ray bands. Swift UVOT and XRT observations showed a significant shift to higher synchrotron peak energies at increased peak fluxes. Results are discussed from Synchrotron Self-Compton modeling of the near-simultaneous UV to TeV γ-ray spectral energy distributions.
