Scientific paper

We require SPITZER IRAC and MIPS observations for multifrequency follow-up of the blazar 3C 454.3. During the last three days AGILE is revealing a strong activity in the gamma-rays band. Joint Spitzer and AGILE observations offers the unprecedented great opportunity to study the correlated variability in the low and high energy peaks. This will contribute to improve the understanding of the structure of the inner jet, the origin of the seed photons for the IC process and then discriminating the different emission models in the red blazars during their high gamma-rays activity. The AGILE Team is going to activate a similar ToO to Swift, while a monitoring in the optical energy band is occurring thanks to WEBT. Therefore Spitzer observation of this blazar will give a unique and extraordinary opportunity to investigate its electromagnetic emission on a wide energy range in its strong flaring activity and then to determine its Spectral Energy Distribution.
