Scientific paper

The quasar 3C454.3 is currently undergoing the largest optical flare in its recorded history: during the past three weeks it has exceeded even 3C273 in optical brightness. We propose to observe 3C454.3 with Spitzer IPAC, MIPS and IRS during each of their normally scheduled blocks in June, July and August 2005, and repeat observations daily. Supporting ground based data will be obtained from Palomar Mountain (approved observations on the 60" robotic telescope; A. Wehrle, PI), Colgate University, and other observatories of the international blazar monitoring teams. The Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer has already started observing as a Target of Opportunity.
