Scientific paper

We propose to perform a set of simultaneous X-ray--TeV observations on 2 TeV blazars in the southern hemisphere. We ask for 2 pointings of 20 and 15 ks each, on 2 consecutive XMM revolutions, matching the H.E.S.S. visibility window. This strategy maximizes the simultaneous coverage (4-5hrs),to sample the shortest variability timescales, and will allow to observe the source in 2 different states, as given by the characteristics flaring timescale of TeV blazars (one to few days). Our goal is to strongly test and constrain the emission models studying with unprecedented detail the changes in the particle distribution on these two scales, shedding light onto the acceleration mechanism and allowing to disentangle EBL absorption effects from the blazar intrinsic TeV spectra.
