Scientific paper

We propose XMM triggered observations on a candidate blazar for TeV emission. Observations will be triggered following a source detection by the VERITAS gamma-ray observatory. VERITAS observations, in turn, may be triggered by an extraordinary optical flare as detected by WEBT member observatories. With the increase in sensitivity that the now operating second generation detectors offer, it is expected that the number of TeV blazars will continue to increase in the coming years, and the TeV source catalog may be extended to contain intermediate or low-frequency peaked BL Lac objects. The proposed campaign aims at the detection of new TeV blazars with meaningful data to allow detailed studies of their broadband spectral and variability properties.
