Description we propose a series of 15 iso observations to monitor the ir variability of the blazar 3c279, contemperaneously with other observations at gamma ray, x-ray and optical wavelengths. iso observations made in pv phase have shown that the synchrotron break frequency lies inside the iso range. determinaton of the break frequency is a key diagnostic of synchrotron and synchrotron-self-compton models. our proposed observations would; - measure the exact synchrotron break frequency, and search for flux-dependant variations of that frequency; - search for possible variations in ir flux and spectral slope; - search for possible correlated variations between the ir continuum properties and those at other wavelengths.

Mission Description The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) was the world's first true orbiting infrared observatory. Equipped with four highly-sophisticated and versatile scientific instruments, it was launched by Ariane in November 1995 and provided astronomers world-wide with a facility of unprecedented sensitivity and capabilities for a detailed exploration of the Universe at infrared wavelengths.
