Triggered Observations of a LAT Monitored Blazar in Quiescence

Most multiwavelength campaigns on blazars are triggered by a flaring state.Because of this strategy and the difficulty of measuring spectra and variabilityof blazars in low states, the quiescent states of blazars are poorly understood.XMMNewton, in combination with FermiLAT, now offers the opportunity to do suchstudies. For this reason, we propose triggered observations of a blazar on thelist of FermiLAT Monitored Blazars in quiescence, which we define as aFermiLAT detected flux above 100 MeV smaller than the lowest flux or upperlimit ever measured by EGRET, for at least one week. 80 ksec of XMMNewtonexposure will be coordinated with intensive monitoring by the WEBT to obtainsimultaneous radio through gammaray coverage. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
