Scientific paper

Through approved Spitzer Cycle 3 Proposal 30785, we will coordinate near-simultaneous Spitzer and Chandra observations of three gamma-ray blazars. The blazars have two-peaked spectral energy distributions, where the infrared peak is synchtrotron emission produced by relativistic electrons, and the x-ray-gamma-ray peak is inverse-Compton scattered emission. The observations will map out the shape of the SED and its changes with two sets of independent observations about six months apart. The Chandra observations are used to obtain x-ray fluxes and spectral indices which will indicate relative contributions of synchrotron and inverse-Compton emission. The Spitzer MIPS and Chandra observations need to be scheduled within a day of each other because the sources are highly variable.
