Scientific paper

In five years' time we will witness the launch of two important missions developed to observe celestial sources in the high energy regime: GLAST, sensitive in the high energy gamma ray band, and MAXI, the all-sky X ray monitor. Simultaneous monitoring observations by the two instruments will be particularly valuable for variable sources, allowing cross-correlations of time series between the two bands. We present the anticipated results from such observations of active galaxies, and in particular, of the jet-dominated sub-class of AGN known as blazars. We discuss the constraints on the structure and emission processes - and in particular, on the internal shock models currently invoked to explain the particle acceleration processes in blazars - that can be derived with simultaneous gamma-ray and X-ray data.
