Scientific paper

LS I +61 303 is a high mass X-ray binary that has been recently detected as a variable TeV source by MAGIC. We propose to conduct, for the first time, simultaneous X-ray and TeV observations, complemented with a radio monitoring, during several consecutive days centered around the orbital phase where the maximum TeV activity takes place. These observations will allow us to follow inter-day spectral variability at X-ray and TeV energies. They will provide a better sampled evolution of the X-ray flux and photon index around the phases where X-ray outbursts are detected. They will also allow to verify the higher flux - harder spectrum correlation and the apparent non-existence of spectral lines. All this will be crucial to constrain physical properties of the emitter.
