Scientific paper

A second huge flare in blazar 3C454.3 occurred in July 2007, with the optical brightness at R=12.8 as of 19 July 2007, within half a magnitude of its historical maximum in the 2005 flare. We propose 9 daily IRS observations of 40 minutes each, immediately following our scheduled IRS observation on July 28th, 2007 until the current visibility window closes. We initiated a multiwavelength observing campaign that involves Swift and possibly Integral TOO's and a dozen ground based observatories. The Spitzer observations will measure the changing location and shape of the infrared peak in the spectral energy distribution during the rise of the flare, which we will compare to our similar data obtained during the decay of the 2005 major flare.
