| contents | We present the results of a multi-wavelength study of a population of X-ray bright ($\rm log(F_{0.2-12 \ keV})>-12.5$), non-$γ$-ray detected high and extreme high synchrotron peak (HSP, EHSP; $\rm log(ν_{\rm peak,\ Hz})>16$) BL Lacs to $i$) put stronger constraints on the synchrotron peak location and shape and $ii$) model their expected behaviour in the very high-energy band. First, we performed an X-ray spectral analysis, using XMM-Newton, Chandra, Swift-XRT, and eROSITA data, and fitting the spectra using both a power law and a log parabola model. Out of 78 sources in the initial sample, 17 were best described by a log parabola model, a result that supports a scenario where the synchrotron peak falls in the X-ray band. Among these 17 sources, we further selected the 10 objects dominated by the jet emission, with no significant contamination of the host galaxy. We performed a $γ$-ray analysis of \lat\ data for these objects, obtaining upper limits providing information on their flux in the 100 MeV - 300 GeV energy range. We then modelled the broadband SED of these objects with JetSeT using two models: one assuming a log parabola for the electron distribution and the other one with a broken power law electron distribution, using parameters consistent with those describing the emission of the prototypical EHSP 1ES 0229+200. We found the models to be generally consistent with the available multi-wavelength detections and upper limits. Furthermore, they confirmed that a subsample of sources could display relevant emission in the TeV energy range, even potentially reaching the threshold for detectability by the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory. |
