Scientific paper

Most multiwavelength campaigns on blazars are triggered by a flaring state. Because of this strategy and the difficulty of measuring spectra and variability of blazars in low states, the quiescent states of blazars are poorly understood. XMM-Newton, in combination with Fermi-LAT, now offers the opportunity to do such studies. For this reason, we propose triggered observations of a blazar on the list of Fermi-LAT Monitored Blazars in quiescence, which we define as a Fermi-LAT detected flux above 100 MeV smaller than the lowest flux or upper limit ever measured by EGRET, for at least one week. 80 ksec of XMM-Newton exposure will be coordinated with intensive monitoring by the WEBT to obtain simultaneous radio through gamma-ray coverage.
