Scientific paper

In July and August 2007, the gamma-ray blazar 3C454.3 flared to near-historic levels, only two years after its record-breaking 2005 optical flare. Luckily, Spitzer Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory were already scheduled for simultaneous observations. Swift, RXTE and the new gamma-ray AGILE spacecraft responded to this target of opportunity, and were joined by observatories around the world. We present the spectral energy distributions obtained during the ad-hoc multiwavelength campaigns. The observations, organized in part as a trial of the GLAST LAT multiwavelength program, presage the multiwavelength campaigns that will be coordinated with GLAST after its 2008 launch.
We are grateful to the schedulers, project scientists, observatory directors and funding agencies who made the observations possible.
