This study focuses on spectral energy distributions and light-curves of blazars and radio galaxies, and the testing of the existing models with a view to appropriately predict a new model that will nearly accurately present the nature of the energy outflows of these super-massive bodies. Understanding blazar emission is very important as it relates more directly to the physics of the AGN’s central black hole. X-ray, radio and gamma-ray wavelength range data on blazars and radio galaxies from archived data has been collected and a detailed investigation of the spectral energy distribution patterns of the blazars and radio galaxies carried out so as to fit the data in the various models. The results of this investigation will be discussed in detail in this presentation.
