Scientific paper

We propose to observe a known TeV gamma-ray blazar in outburst. The observation will be supported by coordinated ground-based observations at TeV energies. The main thrust of the proposed observation is to study the flaring phenomenon on sub-hour timescales jointly at X-ray and TeV energies. XMM covers a critical spectral range for studying TeV gamma-ray blazars, because the SED of such sources peaks in or near its passing band. The data will also allow investigations of correlated variability of the X-ray and TeV gamma-ray emission, spectral hysteresis, and hardness-intensity correlation. The results may shed significant light on the properties of emitting regions in the jets of TeV gamma-ray blazars, emission mechanisms, and the composition of the jets (i.e., leptonic vs hadronic).
