Scientific paper

We propose for two 25 ks ToO observations of blazars (or any other high latitude source) undergoing an exceptional flare in the GLAST gamma-ray band. We intend to use Chandra only if other facilities such as RXTE or Suzaku are not sufficiently sensitive, or cannot reach the source because of the Solar angle or scheduling constraints; we estimate the probability of a Chandra trigger about 50 pct. The resulting X-ray data - both the spectrum and variability information - will be indispensable to deterine the emission mechanisms, and by extension, allow inferences about the structure of the sub-parsec jet, and connection of the jet to the accretion disk and the supermassive black hole.
